which is why letting him go without drawing blood was stupid. I can’t imagine that with a potential homicide that they were that nonchalant

I have a hard time believing most of what has been posted in this thread. Frankly I don't think we have even half of the real story yet.

Just go ahead and admit that you don’t care that an innocent girl was killed by a thug.

I'll admit that I care the exact same amount as the rest of the people in this thread care. That is to say that I think it's tragic that a young died and I'm sure it's hell on her family, but I'm not losing any sleep over it just like I don't lose sleep over the thousands of other innocent people that die in car crashes everyday. And neither do you unless you know the girl or her family. Most of the posters in this thread are making emotional outbursts about something they are not connected to and it's out of their minds by the time they hit submit and move to the next thread.

Your post clearly demonstrates an adversary tone against the girl and her family and support for the drunk thug. It’s because she’s white and he’s black, isn’t it?

---

No it doesn't. I don't even know the race of either party. As far as I can tell that hasn't been reported on. Perhaps you're angry because of the race of the victims.

I won’t speak for other posters but I think the situation and the aftermath is upsetting and a nightmare for any family. I have a daughter the same age and can’t imagine having her legacy dragged through the mud so cheap shots at her can gets likes on the internet

I said what I said. There’s been plenty of cheap shots at the girl and her family in this thread.

And you’re right, I won’t lose sleep over her death or any other death that doesn’t personally affect me. But I can have empathy for a family who lost an innocent child, especially once the investigation revealed she was the innocent party and the person who killed her was a habitual criminal

A) That DSPD requested a warrant for a blood draw, let him leave with his mom, then went to his house after a couple of hours to draw the blood.. or, B) That DSPD requested a warrant for a blood draw, held him at the scene until the they had a warrant and a tech ready to draw the blood, then let him leave with his mom?

Something is def not adding up here. Livingston is a non refusal parish last ive heard. Meaning if you refuse blowing, they will arrest you, and they will draw your blood at the jail. What i dont get is where the warrant for the blood draw came from. He could have been suspected, given field test, then asked to blow, if he refused, he would be arrested then.

Being that they just filed charges today, i dint think thats what happened. As a postwr said earlier, why wasn't he charged then? Something tells me they either didn't suspect he was impared or were a buddy of his.

If he left the scene, and his blood was drawn after, he will walk on the DUI portion of this. No way that holds up. As people also said, he could say i smoked a joint and had a couple shots on my way home. Then any lawyer would fight and say “well the police let him leave, if he was suspected of being impaired, why would they let him leave.

Just doesn't make sense he wasn't charged right then for dui if he was detained and blood drawn then after refusing breath alyzer

I can believe it. I was involved in an accident in which a mother and her baby were killed. The woman was at fault because she ran a stop sign. Her neighbor was following behind her because he needed to go to the store. Her neighbor was a liar. He told the state police that I ran the stop sign. The truck driver kept telling the idiot state trooper that the woman ran the stop sign. Idiot cop said he already had a witness, her neighbor. The night of the woman's wake the state trooper goes to the funeral home and tells the family that the woman caused the accident. I was in a coma for six months and they thought that I would not make it. That wreck changed my life for good.

This doesn't surprise me in Louisiana.

So the whole she ran a red light thing was false? Did the other person run the light? If the person just hit her stopped at the light, this is some really shite police work to let him go from the scene. Hopefully that police department gets destroyed over this one.

she was trying to turn right on red...the other driver was going 30 miles over the 45mph speed limit and struck the driver's side of her car...

I have seen a lot of speculation about anybody running a light. There are 4 big poles with cameras on them, one at each corner, so we can know that the police know if anybody ran a light.

Maybe they needed a warrant because, at the time, they didn’t know he had broken any laws (speeding). Once they got him for speeding, the vehicular manslaughter and DUI charges would stick
I’m not a lawyer, I just thought police needed a valid reason to breathelize you
