🙋🏼♀️What a sad story. It wouldn’t shock me if there was some type of cover up, and I do think race is relevant. However, with negative drug/alcohol tests proving anything in court would be incredibly difficult no matter what. 😕
Consequences?
Well hello my old friend. There’s a current “cover up” in my hometown that I figured would be interesting.
The scene. 18yr old girl, driving to work. She’s allegedly putting on her makeup. The story keeps changing. 28yr old man. He’s a trash man, doing his job.
She says the sun was in her eyes and she couldn’t see. She hits the trash truck, pinning him down, causing both legs to be amputated. He dies on the way to the hospital. No texts or calls where sent or received on her phone and no drugs in her system. Her uncle is a judge and her name has not been released to the public after a week. She is white, he is black.
Some are screaming it’s a cover up. I agree since her name hasn’t been released. Some say she’s in the hospital, some say she’s fine, few really know since literally nothing has been released about her. Her name is circulating social media and I found some friends of hers on twitter saying that accidents happen. Some want her locked up, some say it’s just an accident and that’s it, some say her living with the guilt is enough. The race card is being thrown like crazzzzy. Her social media presence has been completely wiped completely. I think she killed someone because she wasn’t paying attention. Period. Lock her up. But maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏽♀️

Since she’s related to the judge there probably is some cover up going on, but obviously I cannot say for sure. It just wouldn’t surprise me. From what you posted though it sounds like there’s no real proof that she was putting on her makeup while driving though so idk what they could even do.

Why doesn't some call out conflict of interest on the judge? With them beimg related the judgement of the situation isn't unbaised.
Chances are there is a cover up. I wouldn't say necessarily 100% race as in black vs white, but definitely white privilege 100%. i think if the victim were any other race it would have played out the same. Unless the family is known for a racist past but even then itd still be more privilege than race (if that makes sense) I DO thing involuntary man slaughter as an appropriate consequence though. Rather she was driving distracted or not she still was the cause of someones death. If she drove off after or ran off then vehicular manslaughter 100%. Even then i domt have complete trust in the courts. My uncle was a victim of a fatal hit and run, the lady was found dismantling the actual vehicle. She was found guilty and received a whopping 3years summary probation and a suspended her license ... #justice😒

I agree with you on the race aspect to this. I was kind of stuck with how to address that but you’ve said it well.
It sounds like manslaughter, but likely not a hate crime.. I think a coverup is wrong. She should be made just as public as any other person who did such a thing. However, I dont jump to the conclusion that the coverup is because she is white and he is black... if she has a judge in the family who is able to offer her that protection then so imagine it would have been offered if she had hit a white man too.. I doubt her uncle (if that is the story) would say ‘you hit a white guy, your goin’ down for this!’...If she had NO family members involved in law enforcement I could see this being a race coverup, but having a judge/uncle it was probably more about protecting her then race... not saying it is right or fair, just saying not every crooked thing is about race.
I was under the impression that even if it was a 100% accident you still face some charges for killing someone in a car accident?Her uncle has conflict of interest and should not be the judge on the case period.As far as I’m aware suspect names are always supposed to be released (I think even if they are a minor?) so that was wrong they withheld it for a week.You’d probably have to drive that same route at the same time of day and weather conditions to see if the sun is an accurate story. I know I’ve driven with the sun in my eyes and it’s really difficult to see, so I can understand that as the reason the accident happened.

You are right that even in accidents people are usually charged with manslaughter. I don’t believe minors (victims or suspects) are allowed to have their names made public though.. I think you have to be over 18 or be tried as an adult to make it legal for the press to publish your name without consent.

I don’t think it’s a white vs black thing. I think it’s probably a her uncle is a judge thing. Could be wrong. I know there have been many instances where it was a white vs black thing, but I also know due to those any time a white person kills a black person there is instantly a lot of speculation about racism and privilege. I’d have to see articles to see if this is really a white thing or if it’s because her uncle is a judge.
