Judge SLASHES Bond from $1.2 Million to $7,000 for Foreign Trucker Who Killed 5 Including a Baby in Fiery Austin Crash

[Into the Night]

So the initial claim was that even though he had not done anything to cause the crash, he would have been able to prevent the crash had he not been on drugs. Then it turned out that he was not on drugs... So why is he on any bail? Why not just free him?

His truck plowed through cars without even slowing down, Wally.

His truck plowed through cars without even slowing down, Wally.

A car swerved in front of him to quickly for him to slow down in time. Now if he were high on drugs, they could claim that he could have prevented the accident. But, he is not on any drugs, so the whole case fell apart.

When there was evidence on the way, the judge set bail at $1.2 million. It appears the same judge, when there was no evidence, reduced bail to $7k. The police better find some evidence quickly, or it is going to get dismissed.

 

[Into the Night]

You didn't read the story, did you? No drugs or alcohol were found when they did a drug test. It's kind of hard to be drunk with zero alcohol in your system.

Yes there was. The 'independent' test, taken some time later, showed no drugs or alcohol in his system. The truck driver also admitted to lack of sleep, and tried to hide from authorities.

Nothing swerved in front of him, Wally.

Now if he were high on drugs, they could claim that he could have prevented the accident. But, he is not on any drugs, so the whole case fell apart.

The hospital disagrees with you, Wally.

When there was evidence on the way, the judge set bail at $1.2 million.

That wasn't set until after he left the hospital, Wally.

It appears the same judge, when there was no evidence, reduced bail to $7k. The police better find some evidence quickly, or it is going to get dismissed.

They already have it, Wally.

 

[Into the Night]

Again. You are determined to prove you are an idiot or illiterate. The story says no drugs or alcohol in his system

The story is describing an independent test, taken well after the fact, idiot.

and he had a work permit allowing him to work in the US.

Oddly enough, that too is in question, since it comes from a shadow business constantly changing it's address to hide evidence.

 

[Walt]

That wasn't set until after he left the hospital, Wally.

The police drew blood. The prosecutor stated that the blood will probably show the truck driver was high on drugs, and so therefore could have avoided the accident. So the bail was set at $1.2 million.

The blood tests came back. The truck driver had absolutely no drugs in his system. The prosecution needs an entirely new theory to the crime. So bail was reduced to $7k.

I know you feel the Black man must be guilty, but that is not a good legal argument in court. And courts hate "new theories" of the crime, for obvious reasons.

 

[Walt]

The story is describing an independent test, taken well after the fact, idiot.

Blood tests can be done anytime after the incident. It is the blood itself that must be taken quickly.

Oddly enough, that too is in question

If the prosecutors had evidence that the driver was here illegally, they would have presented it already.

 

[Into the Night]

I've read like 5 articles on this and none of them give the name of corrupt judge who cut bond to 7K. Anyone catch the name?

Tamara Needles.

 

[Into the Night]

So he has a odd name, and black skin...

Go stuff your racism up your butt, Wally.

But did not cause a car accident... Shouldn't he be released?

His trucked plowed into other cars without even slowing down, resulting in several deaths.

He tested negative for drugs and alcohol, so not a problem.

False.

He is a US citizen, so not a problem.

False.

 

[Into the Night]

Again, he is a US citizen,

False.

so not an illegal alien.

Not an illegal alien either.

He did not cause the accident.

False.

 

[Into the Night]

He was using some sort of magical drug that left no evidence? How can you prove that?

It did.

 

[Walt]

He tested negative for drugs and alcohol, so not a problem.

False.

We can argue that back and forth, but reality is that the blood tests of his blood came back negative for any kind of drug or alcohol. He was not using drugs.

He did fail the field sobriety test at the scene, but that is not unusual for someone who has just been through a crash, and has a concussion.

The claim that he could have prevented the accident, had he been sober, has fallen apart, because he was sober. That was the only theory of the crime presented in the court. I am surprised that there is even $7k bail, because right now there is no evidence of a crime.

Truck drivers are randomly drug tested. You can lose your license even if you have a prescription for what is found.

An interesting point, that. He was on a work permit, and THAT issued by a shadow company with multiple addresses to hide evidence. It may be that he had NO commercial driver's license at all!

Speaking of illiterate idiots, you pass with flying colors. I worked at a large trucking hub and there were quite a few
drivers (mostly from California and Colorado) who couldn't speak English. That is a scary thought when traveling on
interstates when the truck drivers can't read the road signs. Whether this driver could speak English is speculative.

He could not speak English. The court appointed a translator for him.

Keep in mind, the driver is responsible for going over his truck and trailer. If anything is found not up to operating
condition (air leaks, worn out tires, etc.), he is toast.

The driver claimed his brakes failed. An investigation revealed there was no mechanical fault and the brakes were working perfectly.

Walt claims this driver was a US citizen. Are you lying? Or is Walt?

Walt is lying. The driver is a citizen of Mexico, driving on a questionable 'work permit' and 'CDL'.

 

[Walt]

He was on a work permit, and THAT issued by a shadow company with multiple addresses to hide evidence.

Work permits are issued by the US Government. The US Government is not hiding.

Nice pivot from your false argument that he was drunk.

He was not drunk or on drugs and he was not in the country illegally.

This was a multi-car pileup. The driver was originally charged because the police said he failed a field sobriety test. Then when they did a blood test there was no evidence of any drugs or alcohol

There was. The driver also had almost no sleep before operating the truck.

so the charges of driving under the influence and causing a death while driving under the influence were no longer valid.

They are valid.

Because there was no crime of that type that could be proven

The hospital disagrees with you.

let alone even charged the judge reduced his bail based on whatever lesser charge he was still charged with.

Manslaughter? How do you reduce manslaughter???

You would have all the answers and would stop making yourself look like a fool if you bothered to read the actual article. But I realize it is more than one paragraph long and likely includes words that are difficult for you to understand with your limited English.

...annnnnnnnnnd here comes your word games. It won't work, Poorboy.

 

[Into the Night]

OMFG... The news article explains it all.

No, it doesn't.

We don't have to wait until the report is made public

Court records are public.

because it was made public and the judge let them out on $7,000 bail because the report said there were no drugs or alcohol in their system.

Yes there was.

Before the drug report came in,

The initial hospital report reported some sort of depressant.

the driver was charged with manslaughter while under the influence of drugs and bail was set at $1.2 million. After the drug report came in the charges of being under the influence were dropped and the bail was set at $7,000.

The hospital disagrees with you. The 'independent' report was well after the fact.

This is some simple stuff RB.

Which you deny, like usual.

It seems you can't even take time to read an article that would take less than 10 minutes for a person that reads at a 6th grade level. And yet here you are spouting bullshit that is refuted by the article simple because volsrocks spouted bullshit that was refuted by the article.

The article didn't refute anything.

 

[Into the Night]

I'd be more interested to see what his driver's logbook records (or doesn't) for the previous say, 48 hours up to this accident.

The logbooks were found to be falsified...itself a crime.

 

[Into the Night]

We can argue that back and forth, but reality is that the blood tests of his blood came back negative for any kind of drug or alcohol. He was not using drugs.

The hospital disagrees with you, Wally.

He did fail the field sobriety test at the scene, but that is not unusual for someone who has just been through a crash, and has a concussion.

The driver killed several people, Wally. A concussion does not produce that type of failure.

The claim that he could have prevented the accident, had he been sober, has fallen apart, because he was sober.

The hospital disagrees with you, Wally.

That was the only theory of the crime presented in the court.

Manslaughter is not a theory, Wally. Several people were killed by that truck driver.

I am surprised that there is even $7k bail, because right now there is no evidence of a crime.

Manslaughter is a crime, Wally. So is driving under the influence, driving with questionable and false credentials, driving without rest, and perjury.

 

[Into the Night]

Work permits are issued by the US Government. The US Government is not hiding.

Nope. The work order is issued by the shadow company, Wally. The US government issues visas, not work permits.

 

[Into the Night]

The police drew blood.

The hospital drew the blood and tested it.

The prosecutor stated that the blood will probably show the truck driver was high on drugs, and so therefore could have avoided the accident. So the bail was set at $1.2 million.

The bail was set AFTER the hospital report, which showed some sort of depressant.

The blood tests came back. The truck driver had absolutely no drugs in his system.

The hospital disagrees with you.

...removed racist portion...

Go stuff your racism up your butt, Wally.
