Do you think the judges are keeping him in jail to teach him a lesson and give him some jail time in case he end up not getting jail time at his trial? |
DP. He's an adult. It's 100000% ok to speculate about adults that kill other people (and endangered many others) due to their selfish, reckless choices. I'm so effing tired of people suggesting empathy for drunk drivers. |
The judge isn't living under a rock and knows this is high profile and people are paying attention. I would think they are taking pains to treat him how anyone in this situation gets treated and following typical precedent. |

There was a teen dui tragedy two years ago not very far away. I think perhaps, yes. People were very unhappy with the outcome of that case. |
The difference is they tried the other teen as a minor and that kid only ended up on house arrest. People are still effing pissed about that. That being said, I don’t think that is influencing what is going on here. |
The young man who passed away was his parents' only child. So very, very sad. |
Yes- basically the same age as this case--only a few months separation in age. |
Sorry- that was for the other poster. And, yes, so very, very incredibly sad. |
DP. So you're saying Brooks Bare (name publicly released by police) didn't drive drunk? Did he have a medical emergency? What else caused a passenger to be ejected from the vehicle he was operating? |
I was very unhappy with that result and thought that kid should not have gotten off with a slap on the wrist. He got zero jail time. I think we are now at the other end of the spectrum with this case. We don't know the details of this case yet, but the other case was very egregious. I just read that Nick wanted to wear #22 jersey in honor of his friend Braylon who was killed in that crash and wore #22 in basketball. Just awful for the W&L kids. |
Why not? Same CA and she's saying no bail in this case. Refused to try the other kid as an adult. |
So turning 18 actually has legal consequences? Who knew? |
