At least he's still incarcerated pending trial? Wonder what the bail is? EDIT: bail set at $500,000. He was under house arrest in September.

What is bail? Maybe 10% of court ordered amount? If the parents could afford the BMW, they could afford that. Either they know he’s a flight risk, or possibly want nothing to do with him. I wonder what condition they believe he has.

bail is value in full, 10% is for bond. $50k is pretty quick for an attorney and a published architect with multiple properties across the US. The BMW M5's smouldering hulk could probably cover a 5th of it.

And his therapist violated the confidence of his patient?

No he just shared some stuff he also testified about but way to keep up the Reddit tradition of not trusting a single thing written online on an anonymous online platform

oh if the law allows for it they will be. i had physical health problems that prevented me from driving till my 20's if i had been behind the wheel and suffered an attack of my problems i'd be in serious shit.

they knew he was mentally ill and that would impair his ability to drive and disregarded it. they might see criminal charges if the prosecutor is a serious pit bull of a prosecutor.

It's Florida, so no. They cannot lose their primary residence or various retirement investments they hold. They'll still be very wealthy after this is all over with.

the problem is they knowingly gave a driver they knew was impaired and unable to drive properly a car, they could go to prison.

It’s always been said if you want to kill someone, do it with a vehicle.
