Patchelicious Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Fair enough. I am being emotional. Sent from my LG-D855 using TapatalkDon’t worry dude, it’s absolutely understandable.
Popit Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 According to News24 , the accused gave evidence yesterday .He claims there was a car in front of him , that suddenly swerved to take the offramp and therefore his vision was impeded and he didn't even see the cyclist ..... WTF ....

WTF ....Hr first said it was a stone thrown from a bridge 150m away... then changed his story. I'll find the link quick.

Chingy182 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Dude seems to have lied himself into a corner with even the judge doubting his version of events it seems to me from the article. Even a guilty verdict with jail sentence feels like a hollow victory

Pikey Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Nothing will bring the guys back. Best thing we can hope for is a harsh sentence that will hopefully get some press.Agreed,very harsh hopefully. And thereby deter others (even if only 1 person) in drinking & driving .
EmJayZA Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 This case must conclude now. These families need some closure. Having said that, I am glad this guy is talking himself into a hole. He is guilty as sin. Just hope the wheels of justice turn in our favour.
eccc whippet Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Interesting...why i say this...there are pictures of a total of 4 people who i thought were all from his vehicle...in his latest statement he only mentions "a friend"...that means that the other 2 people in the pictures must be from the vehicle he was racing with or maybe chasing...why i say chasing...because after the accident the people from the other vehicle he was chasing or racing...got out the vehicle and they all starting fighting with each other...could it have been over a women or maybe even drugs...in one of the pictures the persons shirt was removed...nothing in his statement about the other passengers fighting with him and his passenger or why. something else which hasnt been bought up...one of the passenger of his vehicle or the other vehicle he was racing with or chasing said he was a medic ...who was "trying to revive" Jared just after the accident...i wish i had filmed what was going on rather than taken pictures....why hasnt that person come forward to give his side of the story? I would love to hear his side of the story and for him and his mates to tell the court what he was doing to Jared while he was on the floor...and why they were fighting over a body on the road...it is absolutely disgusting the way they were carrying on. i believe the whole lot of them should be in court...the driver of both vehicles and all the passengers...maybe they could explain to the court why they were chasing each other and why they were fighting with each other after the accident...will the truth every be told?
Sepia Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Why not mention this to the prosecutor and submit the pictures you took?Anything, simply anything is worth a shot with this ba....d, especially if he is back peddling?
eccc whippet Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Why not mention this to the prosecutor and submit the pictures you took?Anything, simply anything is worth a shot with this ba....d, especially if he is back peddling?pics were sent a while back. i have a feeling that more people are following this thread than we know...one of he reasons i edited some of my posts.
Sepia Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 pics were sent a while back. i have a feeling that more people are following this thread than we know...one of he reasons i edited some of my posts. More than likely. Give it stick on this.
eccc whippet Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 maybe this accident was a result of drugs and a woman and a high speed car chase or a race...it could explain the comments about his eyes and his behaviour maybe he wasnt on this planet...nobody thought to do a drug test on him? if I look at the picture taken at 5.15 am...there are the 2 who look like they were in the vehicle or passengers from the other vehicle...the person with the black shirt...has no shoes on...holding his head...the other one behind him with the white shirt off...could have been the 2 involved in the fighting...he mentions a friend...could it be the friend was the women standing next to the vehicle...could she have been a business transaction gone wrong? if I look to the right there is person with a red and one with a blue shirt...between the 2 of them...you can see what looks like a woman with high heel black shoes ...a short black skirt and dark hair...she is standing in the gutter next to the vehicle...the photo was taken a couple of minutes after the accident...that could also explain the contents found in the vehicle. it is all starting to make sense...maybe the drug squad should be involved in this investigation and should be doing a little scratching...who knows...maybe it could explain...the R10 000 bail...the GTI...there are rumours that he has already paid up front for all the past and present attorney fees and court appearances....from his poor plea to reduce the bail because he looks after his parents who live at home with him. could it be a few drinks and little something on the side up the nose...in the veins maybe...could explain why he didnt see the cyclists...especially Jareds wheel lights (he was so proud of)...flashing different colours..maybe he wasnt on this planet. or was imagining things like stones flying through his windscreen...cars swerving all over the road...or as the lights on the wheels changed to blue...he got into a panic and tried to duck off the road but missed the off ramp which resulted in him smashing into the cyclist in the yellow line.
eccc whippet Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Where these pictures you speak of?sent to the people involved in the investigation.
