[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they were both blackout drunk - him to the point of vomiting apparently - and he either got hit lightly by her - although this doesn’t totally check out because it doesn’t sound like she peeled out it sounds like she waited for him to go in - or someone else, or he just fell and hit his head hard and passed out. He was completely wasted. He likely couldn’t get up even if he was just minorly injured. [/quote]
Regardless it’s clearly not murder and this entire thing is nonsense. It’s a drunk driving accident. Should she have been driving, hundred percent no, so she should be tagged on I guess negligent manslaughter.[/quote]

She's definitely guilty of the OUI manslaughter charged levied against her.

I think she's also guilty of the murder 2, which doesn't require intent to kill but merely intent to do an act that is reckless in the extreme and shows disregard for human life - like intending to back your 6000lb vehicle in the direction of a human body at relatively high speed for any reason, whether to side swipe and knock the person on their arse or whether to simply come close and thereby scare them or piss them off.

The Lexus EDR data seems irrefutable that the driver of that vehicle engaged in an intentional backing of the vehicle for 60+ feet at 24mph.

It's going to be interesting to see how the case unfolds this time. I certainly believe that a jury could find her guilty to a moral certainty of all of the charges against her. It all comes down to the jury and as anyone who watches our justice system carefully or who works in it knows, one jury can find NG on the very same facts that another has no trouble finding G.

I'm not going to lose any money placing bets on the outcome, that's for sure.
