What is it about being found "not guilty" that was confusing to you? I mean, it was a pretty large font size.

I wonder how many other people see a DWI case beat in 6 weeks?

generally isn't the case, but you can file a motion for a speedy trial. and in a small county it's much easier as well

Was it because his car didn't have air conditioning and he had to drive around in the heat while everybody else has cars with AC?

Ahh, I see. So "Alphonse Taylor was acquitted" and "Judge Ricky McKinney ruled Taylor was not guilty..." was also confusing to you.
Now you're just face saving. You said the charges were dropped. They weren't. It's significant because the DA's office expended time and resources to try a case they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Seriously, someone should be fired, and if Taylor sues,

From what I read about this. NOT AN EXPERT
quote:Alphonse called the cops @ 8:50 am and waited for them.
Showed up to a hit and run. Found the suspect.
quote:Correct. He provided two breath samples at 9:19 a.m. The tests showed that he had a 0.0 blood alcohol content.
He passed the breathalyzer
quote:Where did he fail?
He failed.
quote:Wrong..... "The officer wrote that Taylor was reclining in his 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe when he arrived. Taylor told the officer that he had bumped his head on the steering wheel. The 911 call taker who dispatched the officer to the accident reported that Taylor was very difficult to understand." LINK
He did not tell the cops he hit his head, the layer said that later.
quote:He was in the parking lot where the accident occurred when the officer arrived.
Whether he called or not he still left the scene of an accident.
He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after the officers found another car struck and determined he had hit it earlier in the morning. This one is confusing to me.

Only explanation is that he was high on pot cigarettes, which is what they call a gateway drug, and he left the scene in search of harder drugs like acid.

He was acquitted as soon as the jury realized he was an Alabama football player.

Especially when you blow a 0.0 as in this case.
Even worse. He hit two cars in two different locations inside of the apartment according to the article. That means he's irresponsible and an incompetent driver.
