Three Killed Two Injured in Single Car Accident

[Blitz44]

I think it's very possible. If the car was going 40mph on that road and plunging down that hill hitting trees on the way down. I could very well be wrong but at some point a sense of fear would kick in for "me" if going at a higher rate of speed around those corners. But I will wait to judge until the FACTS of the case are released.


Yes, I will be trying to sue the state. But this is how bailbonds companies make money. It will be very hard for me to get the $50,000 i had to pay in bail. The one question that raises in my mind would be how the system would allow a judge to place my bail at 1 million to only then drop it to 500,000? I have no criminal background. Never even had a speeding ticket. That's what never made any sense. Why not take it to no bail? That's why the state in my case I believe was about making money or didn't believe the case.

So what you're saying is you believe this was a case of speeding? The deputies still haven't deemed this a speeding case.

Um...when a single car accident that results in a automobile being torn into pieces like that, it's logical to assume they were exceeding the speed limit, wouldn't you agree?

Cars do not become airborne nor rip into multiple pieces while going slow.

I was slandered here at my work.....on the news.....and on the radio.

If any malicious or false statements published or broadcasted defamed you, then sue.

First, prove that the statement was false and/or malicious. Then, prove that the statement caused harm to you.

I'm probably 100% incorrect on thinking that it wasn't a result of speeding. But I have learned and hope other people learn to not assume things prior to hearing the facts. I feel like we are in a world where you're guilty before proven innoncent.

Jeebus,

We will be going after multiple newspapers along with the radio stations. In this case we have multiple false and malicious statements that waiver from what actally happened. So yes we will be doing what we can to receive some type of compensation.

An untrue statement in a broadcast or newspaper is not libel nor slander unless the publisher knowingly published false information at the time it was printed or broadcasted.

"It was later proved to be false and all charges were dropped" is not a valid argument in a defamation case.

Statements of opinion (as opposed to statements of "facts") are also outside the realm of defamation and are not actionable.

So yes we will be doing what we can to receive some type of compensation.

You also have to prove you were damaged by the statements.

The original arrest that resulted in bail money being paid? Those fees are not damages caused by any alleged libel or slander.

The original arrest and charges had nothing to do with alleged slander or libel, the press is allowed to report to the public when citizens are arrested and charges with crimes. If they are later found "not guilty" the citizen has no recourse to "un-ring" the bell.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. This is something I will discuss further with my Attorney. But this will give me a good understanding going into it. Thanks.

I would have to assume that there are at least two sides to any story that involves multiple felonies and $500K-$1M in bail.

Good luck, sorry to go off topic.

You're exactly correct. But one would think the cops would question the independent witnesses and not the 30+ people who jumped 3 white kids on what happened.

Initial reports stated the car was traveling in excess of 100mph, as supported by the fact the car was ripped in half with one half landing 100 feet away from the other half and the engine being ripped from it mounts...on a dark country road at night in an econo-car with five people aboard. Further proof, no matter how well you raise your children, you can't fix stupid. God speed to all those involved in this tragic, senseless act of misjudgement.

PS: This was no 40mph shunt folks.

Holy moses.

[Jeebus]

Yes....the charges were very serious. I was facing a maximum of 280 years in prison and the system wanted 10 years. Thank you for programs like Project Innocence.

If it's the case I'm thinking about, you did plead guilty to one count, right?

And wasn't there a videotape of the incident as well?

No that must be a different case. This case never even made it to Jury trial. Got dropped all together once certain parties got involved.

1) You really have no case.

2) A judge can determine bail at his/her discretion; looks to me like you had some serious charges thrown up against you... 18 charges?!? good lord
