After reading through the history, his sister's claim about being unarmed is questionable.
A public records search shows that Scott was convicted in April 2004 of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in Mecklenburg County. Other charges stemming from that date were dismissed: felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and misdemeanors assault on a child under 12, assault on a female and communicating threats.

In April 2015 in Gaston County Court, Scott was found guilty of driving while intoxicated.

In 1992, Scott was charged in Charleston County, S.C., with ​several different crimes on different dates, including carrying ​a concealed weapon​ (not a gun), simple assault and contributing to ​the delinquency of a minor. ​He pleaded guilty to ​all charges.

Scott also was charged with aggravated assault in 1992​ and assault with intent to kill in 1995. Both charges were reduced, but the disposition of the case​s​ is unclear.

According to Bexar County, Texas, records, Scott was sentenced in March 2005 to 15 months in a state jail for evading arrest. In July of that year, records show, he was sentenced to seven years in prison on a conviction of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman said Scott completed his sentence and was released from prison in 2011.

To me, the window looks closed from the helicopter footage.

Obviously, her lawyer has seen the footage and stills from it. Why double down if it wasn't open?

I think if the blood shows any significant drug amounts, she won't be charged with anything significant.
Why? I don't know. I think the statement that "she was never so scared" leads us to where she is going.

"I didn't lie, I was just scared and erred".

Instead of possibly saving a life, she took one.

Of course, that could be just one of the many lies she's already told.
From all indications she was on her way to another call. Why she ignored it will have to be answered later.

CRUTCHER VIDEO - Bing video


Look at the 20 second mark. Both arms down. Where is the left arm?

The police dept says he was unarmed. We shouldn't still be doing this now.

Because a car is parked on the wrong side of the road where it could be hit by another vehicle? Is that a possibility?

This is the way it looked to me. I couldn't see what his left hand was doing but it appeared to be lowered too.

She didn't ignore the other call, she encountered Crutcher on the way.

She was at the Crutcher scene where it was unknown what was going on or how serious it was. It's logical that she stopped.

Frankly, the answer is yes.


Things are only going to get worse.

Do not confuse them with logic.
