Junior's Bail required someone putting up their house for collateral and paying 10% of the Bail amount. That's the Deal in Florida.
The families of the Victims will not let this looser go easy. He's looking at Serious Time (i'd say 20yrs+).
This reminds me of the other case from a year or two ago, with a 17-year-old was given a Lamborghini and killed a woman in Los Angeles. He was driving at a similar excessive speed. Had videos of him racing, even racing his dad on public streets. Does anyone know what ever happened with him or what kind of sentence he got?
Reminds me of another case from many years ago, daughter fighting with her dad, grabbed the keys to the family's expensive sports car and took off, also driving over 100 mph, crashing, killing herself and someone else.
I find it hard to blame the parents in these cases. Many very good parents end up with that one bad seed. Or some teens just go through those horrible, defiant, stupid years.
That said, I hope this driver gets a very long sentence.
It’s a recipe for disaster to get a 17-year-old a rocket ship for a car. I absolutely blame the parents for that.
17 at the time, makes me hope his parents are held accountable for some of his actions.
Yep. An M5 is brutally quick and fast. Anyone who hasn't driven a car of this performance class would be shocked at how quickly things happen in a car like this versus something like an Accord, or even a quasi-performance car like a GTI or Civic-Type R. The parents should have absolutely known better. Most 17 year-old kids simply don't have the judgement (or driving skills) required to operate a vehicle with this level of performance safely.

I was curious too. Look below, as I couldn’t believe it. 7 to 9 MONTHS!!! Months, not years, months.

I would never get my child a car like that, because I’d be petrified for his own safety. Of course a kid is going to speed in a car like that!

They are absolutely to blame for getting a kid a car this fast. ANY 17 year old would drive excessively fast in a car made for doing just that. Cars as quick as this one require experience and the driving skills that come from experience. Sports cars of this caliber are hard to control and handle when accelerating very quickly or driving excessively fast, both of which any teenage boy is going to do in it. It was completely irresponsible IMO.
How horrible! From the names of the victims and seeing a couple of photos, he plowed into an SUV filled with farm workers, of Haitian descent. The family of the deceased driver has filed a lawsuit against the parents too.
This is going to be clash of the attorneys. Daddy Galle is the long time lawyer for the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club. Mom Helena is the founder of Grey Feathers, a company aimed at older women. What a life, homes in Wellington, Kennebunkport, and Florence, Italy.
Look at this article, written about 18 months before the accident. Oh how the upper class lives…those poor people that their son killed. It’s sorrowful.
Front view, the place looks like a cheap glass modular. Nothing I'd swoon over.
First thing I thought was how damn stupid is this kid's old man? Because he's the one who bought him the car. How do I know? Not too hard to figure out.
The old man is just as guilty, if not more so, than this twerp. There's not one in 10,000 drivers who are capable of handling this vehicle at anywhere near its potential.
I hope the family who sues gets all their property. The old man should go to the joint for a long long time.
That’s horrible!! If he was poor or middle class he’d have gotten much longer IMO. He was driving on a license already suspended for speeding, too. A 7-9 month sentence probably means 2.5 months. For a young woman’s life.
This case will be a sort of referendum on our judicial system and the influence of money and power. A 1%er kills 6 immigrant migrants. Hopefully I’ll be proven to be too cynical in believing this will be a similar slap on the wrist.,
Killing 6 people and let out of jail is an insult to all those killed. Our criminal justice system is slanted towards the
well-heeled, so no surprise. He was a stupid kid yes, but when things like this happen, he can't be let off the hook. He has to pay with real time in prison, and the family should be sued for everything they have. Nothing well be enough for the 6 families that lost their children.
