I think we can all assume he was probably drunk but since his Lawyer pulled the okie doke on the cops there's no proof.


I would assume they agreed to anything that wasn't jail time.

People will claim the sentencing is an example of white privilege when in fact your post is correct. Name and money is all you need.

That and the fact that the judge is not white

Right. It was dark, I thought it was a deer, I didn't realize it was a person until I saw on the news that someone was hit by a car and turned myself immediately upon realizing this.

The idea that Bubby Brister's name carries weight in a Baton Rouge courtroom is ridiculous. It doesn't.

This had nothing to do with the outcome.

Judge William Jorden sentenced Brister to three years of probation to include 250 hours of community service

After sentencing, the judge went down and picked up his new bass boat. Paid cash.

Sad turn of events but what is a married father that age walking around drunk in a college area in a place not well lit or pedestrian friendly at that time of night

That could have been any student who had a few beers at the bar going to apartment and likely panicked

Win stupid prizes by putting yourself in a position to get hit like that
