The judge probably issued a summons for him to appear in court. It is illegal to release grand jury indictments until the indicted has been arrested or served. Surely they did notify him but then again nothing is ever done the right way in Escambia County.

He can't be brought to justice until that happens. He has yet to be arrested…..Why is that? He can’t be brought to justice until that happens.

So this is a lie? he was in the curve when he lost control? or did he end up at the curve? also about the speculations of alcohol/drugs aids victim on April 7th, 2011 10:27 pm Keep ya head up man.. U kno u was wrong for wat u did. U knew u was to drunk to drive that car and u did anyway and cost ur friends his life. Now u gotta face the consequences. I hope they give u 20 mandatory. I think we can assume that our speculations were right? “Johnson was driving westbound on a straight stretch of Old Atmore Road about a half mile west of Tulip Street when he lost control and flipped the vehicle over about 3:30 a.m. on June 19, 2010.”

Get in your car or truck, head down Old Atmore Rd at the posted speed limit, from either Flomaton or Canoe direction, and enter the curve where this accident occurred. Then come back and let me know if you have a little better understanding as to how such accidents as this, and at times even worse, keep repeating one after the other on the road and in or pretty close to same spot. I nearly lost the girl who later became my wife and mother of our 3 children in a single car accident there about 8 years ago, and sadly just about 4 years ago lost a good friend of mine in that spot after his truck flipped numerous times. I vote the state of Alabama or Escambia county review the roadway and curve through that deadly stretch. Maybe something can be done to prevent more loss of life.

The speed limit is 45mph on that road. A vehicle must be traveling a minimum of 44mph to enter a critical speed yaw regardless of environment. A vehicle must be in a critical speed yaw to roll over unless gravity pulls it which is clearly not the case since the car is sitting on flat ground. The most top heavy vehicles only begin to have tip at 44mph. A crown vic is one of the most stable vehicles on the road and taks a lot of inertia to lift the wheels off the gound. For a crown vic to roll over two times it takes even greater force. I would bet my paycheck that the Trooper got a minimum speed estimate at around 75mph which means that the car was probably traveling around 80-85mph. And you guys are right, he wouldn't have been indicted unless he was driving recklessy, drunk or high. Yes you can determine that he was traveling well over the speed limit.

Not by the pictures we see but by the distances traveled during flips and the simple fact that he was going fast enough to flip a Crown Vic not just once but twice. They measure and record those facts. Anyhow, the science of dynamics can determine such things and the law enforcement officers have access to the formulae related to road condition, distance of travel, center of mass, wind conditions, suchlike.

So what law did he intentionally break? Not forcing his passengers to wear their seatbelt? If he was driving wreckless then ok...I see ur point...but from what this story says and the pictures I can only determine that an accident occured... As I said before there must be more to this story... The car flipped twice…by those pictures u can’t determine he was driving well over the speed limit.
