Orson Charles arrested

lol I was gonna say leaving soup unattended

anyone know what wanton endangerment entails?

Waving a gun in anger at someone would do it.

Eating the soup when it is too hot?

Or endangering the chef making the Wanton soup

Wantans dipped in sweet and sour sauce are one of life's great pleasures!

So someone "saying" someone waived a gun at them means he must have done it since they found a gun in the car?

So there's no chance that this guy overheard Orson earlier say something about a gun in his GF's purse, recognizing him as a wealthy pro athlete, and then decided to make up a bullshite story hoping to file a law suit eventually and get paid.

I mean you must be right, everybody is honest and would never dream of such possibilities.

These cases can be difficult to prosecute for a few reasons. Road rage cases aren't that uncommon as far as criminal cases go. Some involve mouthing and threats, some involve weapons, and some involve one vehicle making contact or trying to make contact with the other.

If the occupants of the other vehicle are from somewhere else, maybe several states away, the case becomes more difficult to prosecute because it may be costly to summon them to a trial and they may not want to go through the hassle of coming back. I was involved in defending one where the long distance truck drivers who were allegedly threatened by my client lived out West and that played a big part in the prosecutor ultimately deciding not to follow through with the prosecution.

As the police did not actually witness the incident you usually end up with the occupants of one vehicle saying one thing and the occupants of the other saying the opposite thing with oftentimes no evidence to corroborate either version.

The gun could be problematical if it could be established that the gun allegedly waved was the same gun found in the vehicle. That could be difficult to establish though as these things usually happen suddenly and will definitely be a focal point of the case.

For all these same reasons there is usually also a fair chance of getting a negotiated plea to a lesser charge including a misdemeanor.

SIAP, but it was a road rage incident. Not a big deal, tbh, the other driver was probably being an oblivious fricking retard.

You're listing civil claims, fricktard, not criminal allegations.

You're also presuming - without any evidence - that the people in the car: (1) knew it was Orson; (2) that there was a gun in the car; (3) that the cops would be able to find *his* particular car; (4) before he could ditch the gun; (5) that there would be an arrest; (6) that there would be a formal charge; (7) that there would be a trial and a conviction; (8) that they could then follow up with a civil suit, wherein they could state and subtantiate a valid claim that would actually entitle them to monetary damages.

That's radically different than somebody knocking up a girl, or a questionable slip & fall that gets a cost-of-defense or smaller settlement.

What law school did you attend? Whichever one it was, demand a refund, because you clearly failed Evidence.

"Objection, your honor; move to preclude the witness from testifying."

"On what grounds, counsel?"

"This witness was one of the people in the car with the man allegedly threatened by the defendant. Therefore, he's biased as frick."

"Any authority for that objection, counsel?"

"Uh, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night?"

"Overruled."
