Seen him a month ago in Fayetteville at Blues, Bikes, and BBQ. He had some of his bikes on display there.

 

I think they should ask Billy:
How would your family feel if it was you on the scoot that got creamed?

The unfortunate truth is - Billy has the money to fight this for a long time. If the defense can introduce "doubt" in the handling of the samples and/or the police investigation then that only increases the chance of a "plea bargain".

My guess he will spend a couple days in jail (if you want to call it jail" & then will walk.
Hopefully the family gets a huge Ron Goldman-esque wrongful death judgement againts him & Bill will think Ramen noodles are a delicasy.

Also, the family better get their $$ from Chrysler quick before they go belly up.
There may not be a Chrylser to sue if this drags out much further than 2009.

 

I would not be surprised to see this swept under a rug somewhere this isn't his first DUI, you guys gotta know he is special.

 

Until they put some real teeth in the laws this crap will just go on and on. There was one guy that kept getting DUI, lose his license, kept driving drunk anyway. They threw him in jail and on day one he got out and went drink driving again! Each time he got a little more time but never did stop doing it. If he was not locked up, he drove drunk. How do deal with that? Chop off his hands? I have no sympathy for any drunk driver but "money walks", Billy will get away with it. If nobody bought his stuff, maybe that would hurt a bit.

 

If anyone wishes to forgo our legal system that I personally fought for please quietly exit our country. The right to a fair trial, all facts to be heard by a jury of our pears. In case you citizens of the US of A have forgot these basic rights afforded to all who come before our legal system:

Jurors are to decide the facts. But in determining what actually happened in this case -- that is, in reaching your decision as to the facts -- it is a sworn duty to follow the law that will be defining to a juror by a Judge. So if the jury, after careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence in the case, has a reasonable doubt that the Defendant is guilty of the charge, it must acquit. If the jury views the evidence in the case as reasonably permitting either of two conclusions - one of innocence, the other of guilt.


Maybe those who never have served our country forget but those who do or have done, will never forget. Remember that when posting!

 

A life was lost and those who are trained to administer the law will do so at that time. I am of the opinion of personal accountability if that matters.

 

Not trying to excuse Lane by any means but wasn't both drivers guilty of DUI? I read the wiki but it didn't mention this and my memory isn't what it never was....

 

Chrysler was sued because they were the owner of the vehicle Lane was driving. At least in Conn, if you or I let someone drive our vehicle and an accident occurs, our insurance is the first to respond (and therefore we're the first to be sued). Chrysler's liability exposure was made worse because of Lane's pevious DUI arrests.

They must have ben worried because even with a huge in-house legal staff they settled quickly.

Not saying it's right or wrong - just the way it is.
