To the famalies and community of these unfortunate young women, this is a terrible tagedy and I know I would be devastated at the loss of a family member.

I feel there is no conspiracy to conceal neglegence as there clearly is non, other than two young women who had exercised wrong judgement by walking on the road as I have done myself when I was young.

My prayers and condolences for the Howard and Johnson famalies. Prayers for Deputy Breton, I am sure he did all that was humanly possible to avoid this.

Let’s try another tactic here; a vehicle is bigger than you are, therefore, stay off the road and make yourself visable if you are walking along a road at night. Take a flashlight, wear something reflective or white so cars can see you.

You are all wrong!

The po-lees are riding around just looking for people to run down.

Sarcasm intended.

If any of you know anything about body language, you can tell the survivor of this accident is lying. She shows no emotion, will not even look at the camera, and her tone of voice reflects that she’s lying. I’ve studied the subject a little bit and have tested some hypotheses. This girl is clearly full of lies and is just too scared to tell the truth. Shock of the situation is leading her to do this. Once that wears off, she will tell the truth and say she’s sorry for lying. I’m just sorry she’s having to go through this.
However, I’ve come close to running over people in the very same area as this occurred. These people walking the streets at night think they own the road. Maybe some of them will wise up from this and walk in the grass or sidewalk. The roads are built and maintained for vehicular traffic, not foot traffic. If they were designed for us to walk on we wouldn’t bother paving and striping them.

JC stated:

but if any of the other scenarios were true then the girl that lived would have said so but she didnt she lied

Um, if she didn’t tell the truth when first questioned……WHY would you believe anything else that she might say? Whatever story she’s concocted so far has been false so we obviously can’t depend on her statements to clarify anything.

I didn’t dispute the girls having been in the road. The only things I was disputing were all the added “details” that those commenting had thrown into the mix when the facts simply don’t show us that.

REGARDING:
“maybe a little consideration is needed here instead of BLIND JUDGEMENT!”

Is it really judgment — blind or otherwise — to wonder what you’re not told?

Yes, we hate the girl died.
Yes, we hate the other girl was injured.
Yes, we hate the deputy has to live with what happened.
Yes, we hate he was accused of what it seems he didn’t do.

Nonetheless, wondering isn’t judging, it’s wondering, wishing to know more to understand such a human tragedy, wondering how it could be avoided in the future rather than just deciding we shouldn‘t consider such things.

David for fewer tragedies.

It still does not add up and I don’t believe anything law enforcement says until the video is released to the public. If the officer was cleared through their investigation, why is he still on paid administrative leave and not back on patrol.. If he had been driving the speed limit, (with his lights on) wouldn’t he have attempted to stop or at least slam on brakes? Hopefully the individual that lived will speak out and give her side of what happened. The speed had to be a factor for an individual to be killed by the impact of the car.

So knowing what is on the in car camera video we can assume the surviving girl was less than truthful when she said they were walking in the median? Hmmmmm imagine that!
