So, basically he will walk. Maybe a little jail time for the alcohol level. But he’s already driving on a suspended license and officials don’t take drunk driving seriously.
If the allegations are true the dude is absolutely going to spend time in prison

The parents do know who the other driver is.
Louisiana State Police have really screwed this one up from the moment the accident occurred. The other driver also has a warrant for some sort of simple burglary with a stolen weapon. Weed was also found in his car at the accident scene. There were several reasons to arrest the other driver on the spot but was allowed to leave.

I believe the father said the other driver has not been identified, according to Kiran's article.
Did LSP take over the investigation? Because Dehnan Springs PD is mentioned about 5 time in the article and LSP isn't once.

The guy blew a 0.09, albeit approx 3 hours later. I don't know how fast alcohol is metabolized, but I could see a professional drinker performing acceptably well if his BAC was only 1.2 or so. He refused to blow and the cops need a warrant to draw blood. I can't imagine it's easy to track down a judge at 1:00 or 2:00am on New Years Day. He was also injured in the crash, so that could have affected the ability of police to conduct a full range field sobriety tests.

0.015 per hour on average.
So he would've been around .12ish at the tike of the wreck.

I feel terrible for the girl involved BUT IF she ran a red light and the guy who hit her was not speeding then I don’t agree with him spending jail time. Maybe probation or something.

Way too young. I bet her family is torn up.

Is the other driver black or hispanic? Is that why they haven't been identified publicly?

Why? Given what was reported on the night, New Years Eve, how is that a weird first thought? It was reported that the girl ran a red light and alcohol was likely involved in the crash. It was also reported that no arrests were made at the scene.

Some teens drink and drive. I'd bet money that most do not.
You'd have to completely bury your head in the sand given what was reported in order to believe what you just typed. Even the girl's parents weren't sure, only hopeful, that she hadn't been drinking.
Hindsight is 20/20 and you jumped into a thread with nothing but hindsight to offer and no idea how this was reported and covered by the media and police.

Did the other driver leave without police supervision? If so, I’m sure the defense is going to be they were nervous after the accident and had a few drinks and smoked some weed to help with their anxiety.
I remember years ago a city attorney with Mandeville, got in a wreck and left the scene of the accident and went to a bar and ordered a glass of wine with a date/time stamp receipt. I believe they were able to get out of the DUI by doing that.

Not within the city limits of a city. That municipality is responsible.

I know Blake’s parents well and have so for many years. The parents were told not to say who the other driver is at this time due to the “ongoing investigation”.
I will respect their decision not to publicly disclose who the other driver is, but I can tell you, driver ain’t a good ole boy being protected by the system. The cops just did a piss poor job handling this entire accident.
LSP started the accident investigation the night of but was told by Denham Springs they would be taking over. I was thinking it was the other way around. My mistake

What exactly do you believe they did poorly?
They arrived in scene in a timely manner, administered medical, kept traffic flowing safely, and apparently drew blood of the drivers.
They have protected the confidentiality of the person which aids in preventing compromising the case.

This statement sounds like an excuse. How does protecting the driver's ID keep from compromising the case?

Im not at liberty to say at this time. But there was to be a statement released by DSPD to the news this week that still has yet to happen. So why tell the family this will happen and yet again fail to follow through on your word.

The driver refused a field sobriety test on scene and was allowed to be driven off site privately to the hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries. Blood was drawn a couple hours later.

Something about innocent until proven guilty and the probability that this ends up in a jury case, which would then have to be moved if this person’s name gets plastered everywhere.
Don’t get me wrong - I want them righteously punished to fullest extent of the law, but news stories aren’t where that’s done, and wouldn’t want to compromise prosecution.
