Might be enough to convince a jury he was under the influence. Or enough that he'll plead guilty to a lesser charge rather than face the full rap.
So for a Grand he's out on bail. Sad that you can cause a life to end and in less than 6 hours he'll be out.
That's the point. These events need to be called crashes, not accidents. Over 90% of crashes are caused by driver error.
Meh - if you could discern level of consumption from that picture, you're more perceptive than I am. I'm not saying there's no way he was drunk/buzzed/hungover in that picture, but to state it definitively is jumping the gun a bit.
But unless you intentionally did something, its an accident. All humans make mistakes, some worse than others.
If he was drunk as it appears I wouldn't really classify it as an accident, but the mindset that anything preventable isn't an accident is BS.
Yeah, he needs to go to jail for fleeing the scene (possibly while drunk), but I wonder if there were other contributing factors like the trailer not being properly lit.
I guess I get that, but that's not what bail's for. Bail is there to make sure you show up in court, don't intimidate witnesses, and aren't a threat to the community. It's not supposed to be any type of punishment because he hasn't been convicted yet
Again, this is Iowa in April. On a two lane road. Tractors are all over. If the trailer was not properly lit that's not good. But if I hit a tractor and I legit couldn't see it, I'd callthe cops and wait for them to get there. And he said not a 16 year old who just got his listense.
Not really. It would be damn near impossible for him to hide and avoid trial. Dude is probably pretty wealthy and chose to stay in BFE Iowa, so the judge wasn't to concerned with him fleeing.
At least according to the Waterloo paper, he will be electronically monitored if he posts bail.
Playing devil's advocate here prior to trial & conviction (I'm not interested in defending a person who is proven to have killed someone while DUI).
If he was in a head-on crash (or at least his vehicle had a front impact), then regardless of the circumstances is it possible that he suffered a concussion in the crash or something similar that might explain his poorly thought out response (and the way he looked in the mug shot)?

Both vehicles were southbound. Not sure how head on anything would be since he must have hit the trailer first.
That would make sense. At least in Wisconsin when you post bail they'll attach conditions. Iowa probably does something similar and this is probably one of those
