Strange sentencing if not I laughed about that as well.


You can assume all you want but they can’t prove anything. This was a terrible accident where both parties were culpable..

Honest question for all those feeling he was given preferential treatment..

What would have been the correct sentence in y’all’s mind?

Personally I would’ve liked 5 years probation and license revocation for a couple years.

pictures of him were all over Fred's FB the night of the incident.....how many sober people have you seen in Fred's after a LSU football game?

Probably zero but that doesn't hold up in court

I think we all know he was drunk but Louisiana let his lawyer pull some bullshite so there's no BAC.

Did He ? There's no proof he was drunk is there ?


Hard to collect any evidence when you tell the suspect they can wait to turn themselves in after a few days. The law may have to be blind to circumstantial evidence but it doesn’t mean we have to. So a sober driver hit what he thought was a deer and didn’t stop to check the damage?

He did the Ted Kennedy defense. Leave the scene & hide out for a day so the prosecution has no legal proof of drinking or B.A.C. Have money & hire the best lawyer. Get off with probation.

I think Jim Leyland managed him at some point.

Great pitcher and shortstop.

How much money could Bubby possibly have? He played long before the contracts got huge and wasn't really any good. I think this one is on the judge.

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


He wasn’t married and he lived in the area.

There’s people walking every where after an LSU game. It’s laughable to say you thought you hit a deer and left. How do you not know you hit someone if you hit them hard enough that they died. I’ve run over a small animal before and you feel it in the car.

know a kid that was involved in a similar incident years back. I think he served 3-4 years of a 10 year sentence. He didn’t leave the scene either.


Sounds like he should have left the scene

He hit my newborn son's father drag racing in Donaldsonville and left him there dead in the road and went to get his dad. He was never charged for killing the man he killed! Karma is real people!”


I was wondering if this was public knowledge.

I have no idea how the accident occurred, but you can be killed by getting hit by someone's side mirror on their vehicle if they are going fast enough.

By the next day he had no alcohol in his system. They could have still given him jail time for negligent homicide. It’s what should have happened with him leaving the scene.

I am by no means a lawyer, but to me it seems like they maybe could have subpoenaed Fred's for video and possibly his bar tab

I’ve also hit my mirror on a mail box. I knew I hit something when it happened. We all know why he left the scene.

15 years is a long time in the NFL. I really don’t know his finances but the internet tells me he might have a 7k sqft house in Mandeville. He ain’t hurtin.

5 years in jail sounds about right.
