re: State Police has released a video about the Kyren Lacy incident

I think it's fair to say that Lacy started the chain of events that led to the accident taking place and that the lady was actually the cause of the accident itself.
I can't see how Lacy gets more than a reckless driving charge and fleeing the scene of an accident.
Lacy isn't innocent, but he didn't "kill a veteran" either.

THINK. 92 yards! If you are driving 40+ mph and another vehicle oncoming is driving 40+ mph IN YOUR frickING LANE the moment of impact is less than 2 seconds.
It wasn't even 92 yards. The lawyer said it was 72 yards. Yeah that seems like a far distance when you're standing still, but two cars driving towards each other at that distance is nothing. Think of when you go to pass someone on a 2 lane highway, if the oncoming car is 72 yards away you're not attempting that pass.

Lacy was driving into on-coming traffic which caused the people he was approaching to react.
72 yards away is not removed from the accident. Bear in mind that this is two cars heading towards each other. One car going 40 miles an hour covers 72 yards in 3.7 seconds. If both cars heading towards each other are going the same speed, the accident occurs at 1.85 seconds.
If Lacy was maintaining his lane of travel, the other drivers would not have been forced to react. To put it in lawyer speak, he is the "but for" cause of the accident.

Lacy is “guilty” of making the truck brake by driving recklessly illegally. Making a truck brake doesn’t kill or harm anyone
The woman in the white car swerved into oncoming traffic because she either was following too closely illegally or not paying attention illegally. Swerving into oncoming traffic killed someone
Even in a civil suit Lacy’s potential at fault is minimal. In a criminal suit it’s egregious to try and lay homicide on him.

Maybe both the lady and him should be charged. More than one person can be at fault.
His problem was he was intentionally driving recklessly. She was just negligent.

No, him being charged for homicide is insane. His actions only caused a truck to hit the brakes.
What happened after with the lady in the white car is of her own doing and he can’t be responsible for that criminally at all

He was the proximate cause. Guilty.

No his life wasn't ruined. His reputation was, but not his life. Dude was in his early 20's, Plenty of time to ride out the wave of bad shite, and rehabilitate his reputation with the truth.

His chance to play pro was taken. Likely his only real shot at making great money.
Maybe, maybe not. Once the truth came out, he would likely find his way into the league. Or he could have earneed a living doing something else. None of it was permanently life altering enough for him to kill himself. He obviously had some mental illness that got triggered by the events.
Its sad all the way around. 2 people senslessly loss their lives.

I'm not sure if vehicular manslaughter is the correct charge or not, but if you cause an accident (which they believe he did) and someone dies, is that the right charge?
Now, I'm not a lawyer or pretend to be one.
However, I find charges of vehicular manslaughter and felony hit-and-run very hard to justify when he was not only not involved in the actual accident, but there was another car between him and the wreck.
Yes, his reckless driving was key to the start of the entire incident. However, as in many cases, it was merely the first act, one that could have easily been mitigated by proper actions by others. As someone pointed out on another thread, if a deer had jumped out in front of the gold truck and he had slammed on the brakes, the lady in the white car was still following too close to safely react.
It is clear that the testimony of Astros Truck Driver drove a lot of this, and he and the other gentlemen stated things that the video does not back up, like their statement that the woman was veering into the oncoming traffic to avoid Lacy's green Charger. (I recognize that ATD wasn't necessarily lying: he was just trying to process what he had seen. Eyewitnesses are notoriously mistaken in their testimony.)
Yes, Lacy should have stopped. That he didn't hurt his case, though you can bet that Astros Truck Driver would have read him the riot act.
Just sad all around.

Its such a shame he killed himself. He was bullied to death. By the media, by commentators, etc. Don't know the full story but comment on it and talk about it as if they do. Typical shite lying disgusting media looking for the next "story".
Opinions have changed pretty quick. Tigerdroppings roasted him and talked bad about him before they new the whole story. Now everybody is playing revisionist history and acting like they said he was not at fault this whole time.

This is where I'm at
His actions put him much further beyond the rules of the road than what she did and why he got hit with the bigger charges
Also... the video said they were able to track his car with video for 11 miles uninterrupted to get his plate # & ID him... that's crazy... cameras really are everywhere watching everything

This is where I am too. Sure, give him a reckless driving charge. But negligent homicide? The lady who ended up crashing didn't even see his vehicle. She reacted to what the gold truck was doing and was following too closely, at too high of a speed, to react properly. Even if Lacy is the proximate cause of the accident I don't see how you can charge him with homicide for something that should've been mitigated through another person's defensive driving.

I don’t know about that. She was distracted. Texting or something similar.

Thinking this would meet that is crazy. Another party committing an illegal axt after Lacy’s actions easily would be a break in the chain of events

bullshite. If Lacy isn’t on that road at that particular time then that innocent man is still alive to this day.
That is a fact!

Undeniable.
First witness (a black guy, not that it matters) approached by the officer - "Did you see the Green Charger go that way....he caused all this."
