I'm with you. Yeah Kyren was passing in a no passing zone, but even in the LSP video just posted it looks like he's a long way from that crash. To me, it looks like the other driver had her head up her arse, looks up, panics because she saw another car, and crashes. A homicide charge for Lacy is absurd based on that footage.
You can’t think about distance at a human speed. You have to think about it at the speed an automobile is traveling. I think the reaction time was 1-2 seconds at most.
A car traveling 40+ is going to cover a good bit of ground that looks very far. I’d be interested to see some kind of demonstration showing what the reaction time in a similar situation is.

If the lady is paying attention, she wouldn’t have wrecked. It’s 100% on her. Kyren being wrong doesn’t allow everyone else to absolve themselves of fault. Everyone else around kyren had no issues.

Honestly it might. Someone else acting erratically could give reasonable doubt in a legal setting.
If you’re following too closely to someone who has all their tail lights out and rear end them, who’s at fault?

The main thing I want answered is why did the state trooper go to the driver of the gold truck to get a statement and proceed to tell the driver what needed to be in the statement. Then when the driver of the gold truck gave him a statement that contradicted what he wanted in the report he apparently wrote the statement for the driver and the driver refused to sign the statement.

There's a reason the lawyer showed a cropped video. The camera covers all the way to the building on rhe right, but there is no uncropped video showing the wreck and how soon the green dodge enters the picture.

And the LSP is standing behind this because other witnesses also said what the Trooper was pressuring the man to say.
How do they think that is okay?

Definitely had a hand in it. Agreed.

Having been in a similar situation, I can tell you they absolutely will assign comparative fault even if you weren't the cause of the initial chain of events. I was in a crash on the interstate where some kid tried to pass using the acceleration lane, ran out of room, fishtailed across traffic, and caused the left lane drivers to swerve to miss him. I was in the right lane and got hit by the left lane drivers, but not the guy who initiated the whole thing. On the police report, everyone had some type of "inattentive or following too close" code except for me because I maintained my lane and braked. With proper police work I'm sure the same thing could've happened in Lacy's crash, but it was easier to assign complete fault to the guy who wasn't on the scene

But still had to coerce witness accounts to falsify the report.

There’s no reasonable doubt that it would be unreasonable to detect a car braking that doesn’t have braking indicators?
Flippant response. Also you’re wrong.

even if the brake lights worked you would probably still rear end someone when you are following to close.
But how does this situation apply to the kyren lacy situation?

Can someone explain it like im 5
He is behind the crash... how is he involved?

That’s what I’m getting at. I’m not sure the Louisiana state laws or if this is everywhere but yes comparative fault is a thing. An accident can be the result of multiple drivers at the same time making poor decisions.
And whoever mentioned it earlier, lacy did flee the scene unlike everyone else. That also does yourself zero favors. And he clearly saw the accident whereas the lawyers videos indicate that he was simply a passerby after it had happened.

He was driving recklessly and speeding and passing illegally, and his actions caused teh truck to stop which then resulted in the wreck. If he wasn't driving like a complete buffoon, none of this happens. That does not make teh wreck solely his fault, but he is not "innocent"
ETA: He also fled the scene. Not smart

The new video shows him speeding in the lane the crash happened in before braking and returning to his lane. Whoever saw him coming panicked and swerved and caused a crash. Were they inattentive? Maybe?
But they saw a lime green charger at a high rate of speed coming at them in a no passing zone and probably had 1-2 seconds max to make a decision.

So if i witness an accident I have to stay at the scene?

It’s an example of comparative fault and reckless behavior of one driver (driving illegally whether with no tail lights or passing in a no passing zone) causing an accident.
ETA: the argument is how much of the fault lies with which driver, but I think Lacy can be argued to share at least a fair share of blame. He is not 100% innocent.

You should, but he did more than just witness one.

Let me cut through the bullshite.
Are you arguing that him speeding and passing in a no passing zone had 0 impact on the accident?
I’m not trying to snark, I just want to cut through a message board pissing match.
