How is this an ACCIDENT?

The guy was driving drunk. It should be EXPECTED that you're going to get in some sort of wreck or hit something if you drive drunk. It would be an ACCIDENT if you DIDN'T hit something.


Fry his ass.

wasn't the guy who was drunk and killed some people on Nowell Drive a few years ago charged with murder?

4/23/2008 10:27:02 PM

Murder vs. Manslaughter.



The basic distinction is murder requires malice aforethought, while manslaughter has no such requirement

4/23/2008 10:29:29 PM

damn

ive known brian for quite some time now. He was an ass at times, but would always help you out if you needed it. He was in rotc/navy and did well in school.


sad way to end whatever future he had going on for himself.

I love how WRAL keeps referring to this as being "near North Carolina State University" instead of saying "next to WRAL studios." I mean shit, the footage they shot was from their own property.

4/23/2008 10:34:13 PM

what a dumb fuck piece of shit

fry his ass

4/23/2008 10:34:16 PM

Except you guys forget the provision for felony murder. Any death during commission of a felony can be charged as murder.

and arent all DUI's in NC felonies now?

ahaha i think gettin online, or even allowing myself to be seen online is the last thing id do after this mess

4/23/2008 11:00:03 PM

he will probably get charged w/DUI and involuntary manslaughter, if he doesn't have any previous charges.

4/23/2008 11:01:46 PM

^yeah, he's probably gonna fail those too.

4/23/2008 11:11:07 PM

He actually VOLUNTEERED to drive his car drunk.

a few things:

When you're 21, i don't care how much of a partier you are- you are not an experienced drinker. Shit, I'm 25 and still have to have friends hide my keys- and I've been in this game for years. I wonder if he passed out after his big binge drinking night and woke up the next morning assuming he had sobered up. I mean, that's the beauty about being drunk- you feel just fine! Did he think he was just hungover?

I'd be so bold to say that the only way you know you're drunk WHEN you're drunk is because you can calculate how many beers you've had and compare that with your tolerance. Once you fall asleep, don't you just assume you'll be sober when you wake up the next morning? Sure, looking back when you're sober you're like "yeah, duh, i was drunk." But when I'm trying to figure out whether or not I can drive is when I can actually trust the math: More than one beer/hour average for me means I can't drive. Rather than saying, "How do you feel about driving right now?" because, of course, i'm going to say "I'm just fine to drive!"

Let me draw it out for the visual learners:
----------------
Wasted/puking/health issues - you've convinced some others to take shots of whiskey, bought a hot chick something fruity (Jokes on you, she wasn't even hot), and you're polishing off your 8th or 9th beer, in fact, it's laying beside you when you pass out. You'll find it in the morning and swear you'll never touch the shit again. (you think the front yard looks like a good spot for a nap)
-------------
Hammered 5-7 beers and you've probably taken a shot or two of jager - wobbling, obviously different in mannerisms (you think people are talking funny- so you yell)
-------
Drunk- 4-6 beers- behavior is slightly modified and delayed (you think dumb shit is funny)
-----
Buzzed- 2-3 beers - Still able to conduct yourself, first signs of inebriation (you feel like you're hanging out with some friends, some really fun friends)
--
Sober - until 1 beer - (you feel like you're at work/in school)
- Drunk/Hungover continuum -
Sluggish and tired
--
Tired, lethargic, slight headache
-----
Food is undesirable
--------
Thinking about food makes you want to puke- but you don't puke
------------
You feel so sick you throw up over 4 hours since your last drink


If you ask me if I'm drunk WHEN I'm drunk- I'll say no. What'd he blow? A .12? That's quite a bit of alcohol in your system. I know .12 is an empirical and objective measurement- but is a .12 bac after you've had alcohol in your system for 12+ hours any different than a .12 bac in your system for less than 3 hours? There must be! He must have been blitzed last night. But some people assume just because they passed out, the alcohol is out of their system.

Okay, did the guy ever pass out? Could he have just woken up and mistaken STILL being drunk with that horrible hungover feeling ?

My big question is this:
I wonder what the difference is, cognitively and chemically, between being really drunk and being really hungover?

4/23/2008 11:57:06 PM

sorry

but your visual drinking scale is a little on the weak side. Add 2-3 beers for each aforementioned column haha

4/24/2008 12:04:17 AM

man you're such a beast!!!!!!!!11111111111

4/24/2008 12:22:13 AM

you're right, that's another thing- bigger doods drink more beer- therefore making it take longer to rid their system of the alcohol.


Thanks for proving my point even more.


I mean, my mom rides her bike daily. She's damn near 60, also. If this dude killed my mom I'd be devastated. I'd probably kill myself if this were my mom. However, in a court of law, the kid is still entitled to a fair trial. I'm just playing the devil's advocate and putting everything into context. Dude was not a heartless killer. He is just a fucking kid!!!! I saw footage of him on the news tonight- he's obviously scared as shit. He'll never be the same person ever again. Kids like him who have been given a second chance are the same kids that become leaders in the community. Learning from mistakes and their consequences is more empowering than using tax money to sit in a cell for the rest of your life, and a hell of a lot more empowering than being put to death before you're 25 years old.

I think these two posts were spawned by the dipshit who thoughtlessly said "fry the bastard" earlier in this thread. How can you say such a hateful statement? That statement is more hateful than the "murder" he committed. I think we should "fry" people based on how hateful their crime was.

Fry the bastard? I mean, really? Are we still saying shit like that? It's 2008.

4/24/2008 12:26:01 AM

i feel so bad for the woman's family

4/24/2008 12:27:58 AM

yeah, do people seriously think kids like this should get the death penalty? i'd say two years, lots of comm. service, probation, etc.

4/24/2008 12:29:23 AM

he was released on bond before she died....if she would have died before he was released, would he have still been able to get out on bond?


I wonder how this case will unfold as time goes on.

It's a lot of overreacting and hyperbole... but for the guy who killed the 6 people that I saw after the UVa game a few years back... I really don't give a fuck what happened to him.

--------- As far as this kids life... he fucked up and has to live with it now. For a lot of people that is worse than any sentence he could get I would imagine. I know it would tear me up... that doesn't mean I don't think he should be punished, of course...

"Raleigh, N.C. — A North Carolina State University student spent most of his 21st birthday in jail. Police charged he was drunk when his pickup truck hit a bicyclist near campus Wednesday morning, inflicting fatal injuries. According to a Raleigh police report, Brian Anthony Reid's Ford F-150 hit Nancy Antoine Leidy near NCSU at Nazareth Street and Crusader Drive. "I was devastated," Leidy's friend, Vince Foote, said. They had been friends for nearly 30 years. "They are two (Leidy and her husband) beautiful people and they would do anything for you," Foote said said. Leidy, 60, was known for her homemade bread and prize-winning jelly, as well as her compassionate nature, Foote said. The former NCSU lab assistant organized a support group for wives whose husbands were deployed in Desert Storm. "That was first and foremost her interest, and she worked very hard and made them feel needed and wanted while their husbands were away,” Foote said. Leidy was also a runner and had recently started biking. "I think, in fact, she had probably just took up the bicycle within the last couple of weeks," Foote said. Reid, 21, of 310 S. Sixty Court in Graham, registered a 0.12 in an alcohol breath test, police said. He was charged with one count each of driving while impaired, felony assault by motor vehicle and failure to reduce speed. Leidy was riding on the right-hand side of the road and was wearing a helmet when she was hit, police said. She was transported to WakeMed in Raleigh with a ruptured aorta. Leidy died at 7:45 p.m., a WakeMed spokesperson said. "There's no way I can forgive him for doing that because he hurt my friend," Foote said. Reid, a junior engineering major at NCSU, was released on a $10,000 secured bond Wednesday evening. Reid could face additional charges in connection with Leidy's death. "I think it's unfortunate. The kid was 21 and celebrating. I hope to God he doesn't ever drink again,” Foote said. Reid has hired lawyer Rusty DeMint. His first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday. WRAL reached DeMint Wednesday night, but he would not discuss the case."

my bond was 50% HIGHER than this the time the cops went to the magistrae and lied and said that i
"hacked the police blotter"

wake county is SO fucked up.

oh and now shes dead? and they already took his 10k, and they're gonna just re-arrest his ass tomorrow i suppose. if not, then its super fucked up. you can allegedly get drunk and run someone down and get out of jail easier than getting arrested for some computer shit with absolutely no evidence.

i hate making stuff like this about me, but damn it pisses me off, i feel like the system is so unjust. RIP to the lady and all, and i hate it for the guy.

Now that she has died his charges will most likely be changed. The dude was so wasted at the jail yesterday he didn't even know he had hit anyone. He just sat there and was upset about being charged with a DWI

I think it still takes three prior DWIs to bump you to a felony on your fourth offense.

But they could charge him with felony or misdemeanor death by vehicle

Quote :

"§ 20-141.4. Felony and misdemeanor death by vehicle. (a1) Felony Death by Vehicle. -- A person commits the offense of felony death by vehicle if he unintentionally causes the death of another person while engaged in the offense of impaired driving under G.S. 20-138.1 or G.S. 20-138.2 and commission of that offense is the proximate cause of the death. (a2) Misdemeanor Death by Vehicle. -- A person commits the offense of misdemeanor death by vehicle if he unintentionally causes the death of another person while engaged in the violation of any State law or local ordinance applying to the operation or use of a vehicle or to the regulation of traffic, other than impaired driving under G.S. 20-138.1, and commission of that violation is the proximate cause of the death. (b) Punishments. -- Felony death by vehicle is a Class G felony. Misdemeanor death by vehicle is a Class 1 misdemeanor."

It's unlikely they'd push for 1st degree murder: it'd be hard to prove intent, though they could try him for 2nd and thereby leave in lesser-included offenses like vehicular manslaughter, etc

4/24/2008 7:25:08 AM

so he goes out drinking for his bday, then decides to keep drinking until 11am the next day, then drive?

4/24/2008 7:30:58 AM

no way dude, he had to have passed out....he must've....



but the deputy dog here claims to have witnessed him in jail yesterday still too drunk - even while incarcerated - to even realize that he had killed somebody.


i wonder if that's true.
