Reply to comment by Actaeus86 in Jalen Carter returns to combine following arrest. by PrincessBananas85

Its not a misdemeanor in my state. Its vehicular manslaughter. I think hes getting a great deal if they just write him tickets. The average person would get locked up for manslaughter for the racing and leaving the scene gets you even more time. Because hes somebody though, hes getting a pass.

The way I would respond to this is to you should probably look at what the state statute says and decide if that's the case. You can't apply one states law to another state.

Ge is being charged with a misdemeanor because that's all Georgia State Law willl allow.

I think he didn’t kill anyone so he obviously shouldn’t get a manslaughter charge. He did not slaughter anyone.

It’s vehicular manslaughter to be racing when the other car you are not in wrecks and kills someone?

Yes. We got a guy in the car scene here that got seven years for it. Got more time for leaving the scene too. The laws arent the same everywhere, but i think a couple tickets is getting off light.

Well he only got charged with 2 misdemeanors. Athletes and celebrities in general always get away with stuff.

I’m remembering the recent idiot who rammed his corvette into the parked car and let the keys and her dog burn to death.

Hes not right either though. Just because it could be manslaughter in his state doesn't mean it is in Georgia.

I don't think a draft eligible athlete would get a pass on something as big as manslaughter. If anything he would be charged, but then charges dropped as part of a plea, much like Dany Heatley.
