Guy kills 4 year old after underage drinking.
I can only speak for myself, but I would only take issue with him being charged with DWI, not negligent or vehicular homicide if he was driving recklessly or texting, etc.

Why? He is under 21. The legal limit is 0.0 according to the article.

That sucks because he wasn’t drunk. The alcohol content isn’t high enough to have caused the wreck. Terrible situation I feel bad for all involved and because it killed a kid he will likely get a hefty sentence and ruin his life too.

I'm pretty sure in Louisiana if someone dies in a wreck and the driver has ANY alcohol in their system, driver gets charged with something.

Mainly because I believe if he can be tried in an adult court, he should be judged by adult (21+) laws. Also because I am a firm believer that there should be one class of adults, not two.
Obviously this is just my opinion.

Alcohol doesn't leave your system just because you slept.
Metabolism of alcohol occurs while sleeping or sitting in a chair.
"Alcohol leaves the body at an average rate of 0.015 g/100mL/hour, which is the same as reducing your BAC level by 0.015 per hour. For men, this is usually a rate of about one standard drink per hour."

Hypothetically, you are at a social gathering, and your child needs a ride home, there are two people available, one driver has not had a drink, the other has a blood alcohol level of .05 just like this kid, which one gets to drive your kid? Be honest, you know the answer.

Damn I drive home drunker than that everyday when I leave work

It's probably because he wasn't drunk. More than likely, he was playing with his phone or radio

.05 isn’t going to determine the safety of my child. .08 is the legal limit for a reason.

If that is the case, he may as well have been drunk.

go look at the federal government
fairly certain back in the day when drinking laws were set by the states... the feds came in and told each state "make he legal drinking age 21 in your state or lose federal highway funds"... and states whose drinking age was <21 changed the law almost immediately

Regardless if he was drinking, he drove off the street onto a sidewalk, into two people and killed a 4 year old. He should absolutely spend some time in jail.

How do you know he didn’t blow at the scene?
The rumor that he blew under a .08 was going around long before the blood test results came back.
Also, he didn’t drive up on the sidewalk, he hit the father and son standing on the shoulder.
He deserves jail time because he wrecklessly killed a 4 year old while driving but there are hundreds of thousands of people making the same decision he did every Saturday during football season.

It minimizes texting while driving b/c the kid had two beers. Basically says he did it because of the two beers, not because he was distracted. That little amount of alcohol is insignificant.
Idk the circumstances of the wreck or why the DA charged him with that. It could be that the DA didn't want to charge him with negligent homicide, because 1st DWI is a much lighter charge.
Eta: Law enforcement throughout the country couldn't give two shits about distracted driving. They've been told, trained, and get awards, promotions, and money for giving DWIs. That is what they care about

He hasn’t went before the judge or county attorney yet. The investigation is still open and the police can still add to his charges.

Not calling the poster out. Just replying.
