Holy smokes, this is terrible on all counts, after reading the article I think we can figure out who it might be...so very sad especially for the families of the deceased

Anytime DUI is involved, it's a tragedy on a completely different scale beginning with failure of personal responsibility and respect towards fellow drivers nearby.

Where's the BMW in the video? Nothing left of the car? The M8 is heavy and should be safe to the extent possible.

Very beginning of video, it/driver did not get the worst of it as the other vehicle/driver did. Driver of M8 facing very serious charges of both felony DUI and felony manslaughter from what I've read elsewhere.

Shit, I was told by my M8GC customer yesterday during his coding session.
The driver is this forum member.

Very sad for the victims.

While I'm not barred in CA, I'm licensed in DC & VA and I have some fellow attorney friends in CA.

If he needs free legal assistance, I'd be glad to assist his legal team.

My sympathies.

If he sees this, please message me directly. I'd like to help if I can. I know it's probably too late, but it's a tough time and it can be hard to know what to do next.

I'm semi-retired but I did 100% criminal, speeding tickets and DUI defense. This is my field for 20 years of experience.

Da fuk? This dipshit killed a woman driving drunk in a $150k M8 and you are willing to offer "free legal assistance" as if he needs sympathy. Half your posts are dumb as shit.....you don't come off like a lawyer, at all (and I have a law degree).

I saw his sticker it was more like 175k+ and two people were killed

And that’s all I got to say about that

the m8c is pricey, I hope he was leasing!

but in any event, I'm sure he'll be fine. I've had many high profile clients that have done far worst and for the most part, been able to start again with a clean slate.

Yea he did something terrible by driving such a machine irresponsibly while drunk and in the process getting into an accident which took a life. But doesn't mean we should condemn him.

I don't think he left his house that day with the intention of killing someone. We also don't have all the facts yet and we do not know if he actually is to blame for the accident.

I think it's okay for a lawyer to offer help. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

My condolences to the family of the deceased
