I am all for charging people, but the timing of this is pretty weak.

Misdemeanor charges. He left Indy to deal with these issues and will most likely be back soon.
He made a dumb decision, something he hopefully doesn’t do again and learns from, but unfortunately the driver of the car in the accident had a .2 BAC and was driving over 100 mph. Jalen didn’t do any of that.

Merpninja t1_jairnye wrote
If Jalen Carter wasn't also intoxicated and racing the driver who crashed, why did he flee the scene? why was he at the scene of the crash in the first place if he weren't also going 100mph?
kilroy94 t1_jairzff wrote
Because he did a dumb thing, like I mentioned. Imagine the terrifying nature of all of this though. Going from the best day of your life to seeing what he saw. I won’t make excuses for him, but legally, this won’t have huge repercussions.
Merpninja t1_jaiscmx wrote
I hope he feels awful over this, but denying it completely after he fled the scene shows little remorse. And his other teammate that ALSO fled was charged with racing in a separate incident just last week. Don't act like they're learning anything from this.
Great players have dropped in the draft for far less.
kilroy94 t1_jaishe8 wrote
Who am I to say they haven’t? I understand your point, but again legally, these are misdemeanor charges
Merpninja t1_jaiu2r2 wrote
This isn't about the charges. It's about him seeing his teammate die in front of him, and his first reaction is to flee, lie to the police, and act like he wasn't there.
Stop with the "imagine your best night ever being ruined by your own actions :(((" type shit. I do not feel bad or sorry for him at all. The only thing this proves to the NFL teams scouting him is that he is a POS. It doesn't matter what he gets sentenced with in the end.

I didn’t say a dang thing about his career or his talent. I simply said that that the charges aren’t as severe, right or wrong. The headline makes it sound like he’s going to jail, but he only has two misdemeanors against him. He’ll get a fine, and a slap on the wrist. The scrutiny will remain on the car that crashed and the people who lost their lives.

I'd like to hear a lawyers response about whether or not he could be held liable for the other cars deaths if it's proven he was drag racing them. I know from other crimes if someone dies while you're committing a crime with them you're held liable

The fact that everyone makes this exact joke about the Browns whenever any football player gets in trouble for anything kinda feels to me like how people think that Catholicism is the only religion that protects sex predators. It really lets everyone else off the hook, despite the fact that they all have the same problem.

Check those three articles. All three are cases in Georgia where street racers died, and the other racer was charged with vehicular homicide. Carter can and likely will be charged with vehicular homicide, along with a host of other charges.

angry_slav_esq t1_jak4gvh wrote
Lawyer here! I too would like to hear the response of a Georgia lawyer who practices criminal law. First, it appears that the defendant has just been charged with misdemeanors. Without a felony charge, the Georgia felony murder statue does not come into play.
Here is the Georgia murder statute. Look at (c). Takeaway from this, obviously, have to commit a felony and cause a death.
Here is a succinct blog article on felony murder in Georgia. Takeaways from this, you can get a felony murder charge from the death of a co-defendant.
Here is a recent article in which a Georgian defendant was charged with felony murder and vehicular manslaughter in a case where street racing occurred. The person who died was the opponent driver. A key difference in this case is that both the defendant and deceased fled the police prior to the crash that lead to the death. Fleeing or attempting to elude may be the felony used to charge felony murder in this analogous case. It could also be an instance where the prosecutor is overcharging.
I’ve spent too much time thinking about this and should eat dinner…so…
Tl; dr: maybe? There is a recent analogous instance where someone was charged with felony murder stemming from a race where the opponent racer died. I’m not sure what felony they’d charge to get to felony murder in the present case. Reckless driving and racing appear to be capped as misdemeanors in GA. I think you should ask a lawyer.
Sweatier_Scrotums t1_jak5tgr wrote
Yeah but my point is that that's happened many times in the NFL before. Hell, for 17 years I watched us lose every year to a rapist QB, and our other rival's best player was a murderer.

It’s pretty strong circumstantial evidence. There are also reports that there are numerous cameras that captured both cars racing.
[deleted] t1_jakdac8 wrote
The latter is real evidence potentially if math works right. The former wouldn’t be enough
Wayyyy_Too_Soon t1_jake660 wrote
It’s all real evidence. Just because a single piece of information is not enough to justify a conviction, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t add to our overall understanding of what happened and would contribute to an eventual conviction, along with other pieces of evidence.

Personally, I’m not convinced there is or ever was a conspiracy against Kaepernick. I’m not going to outright deny that possibility though. No doubt he faced ridiculous backlash from fans/media for speaking out on his beliefs within a very important conversation, but there have been enough former players to suggest Kaepernick messed up a lot of potential contracts in the nfl behind the scenes that had nothing to do with his protests.

No it’s not. He had opportunities with other organizations that he didn’t want to take. Then he sued the league and afterwards, reportedly had a terrible workout to try to comeback. Why didn’t he have cameras at the workout? You’d think if he felt he should be in the league, he would show the public just how good he still is.
Again, this is just one person saying this but it makes sense. On top of that, warren sapp and Michael Irvin have given similar accounts
