Cant say I didnt drive my car way too fast when I was 16 (Never under the influence though). Kids that young are 100% prone to stupid mistakes but it doesnt seem like he gives a frick that he killed 2 people at all. Anyone who isnt a total POS would be scarred after that. Is there not a concept where a minor involved in a "dangerous adult activity" can be convicted as an adult?

Unfricking believable.


Then while on detention/house arrest the idiot tested positive for alcohol 3 times within a 2-3 week period just last month.

I think I'm ok with this. Give him the max prison sentence under youthful offender, then make him spend time in rehab.

I did some stupid ish when I was 16-17. One time could have killed my little sister. Wasn’t drunk, wasn’t high, just doing stupid kid stuff. And that was it for me, no more dumb driving.

He spent 90 days in rehab in TN, he's still required to attend drug/alcohol education while he sits on his arse at home. After all of this, just last month he failed 3 alcohol tests within 2 weeks.

“All results are indicative of previous heavy drinking 1-3 days before test or recent light drinking within the past 24 hours,’' wrote Lee County Assistant District Attorney James L. Farmer.


This is par for the course with this guy. He went on to rack up 2 speeding tickets and a reckless driving ticket after killing the Bramblett's.

"The teen’s bond was first revoked in December 2019 after got two speeding tickets and one reckless driving citation seven months after the deadly crash. He is still facing another possible bond revocation."

Well, I worked in the system for 18 years so I’d say my clues are pretty solid.

And where did I say influence can’t play a role? You keep harping in the police in general and/or the chief. Again, the fact that you think they have influence at the circuit court level shows how clueless you are to the workings of the Alabama court system.

Relationships among the attorneys involved can certainly play a role in the system, but the police chief? Calling a judge about a case is a really good way to find yourself fired.



Agree with all of this. Aside from the possibility that the defense attorney and the judge went to law school together or their wives are friends or something, it's extremely unlikely that there's any kind of conspiracy going on. The local cops who are apparently in on the conspiracy fricking arrested the piece of shite for reckless driving a few months after this incident and have tried to get his bond revoked multiple times. There's clearly no love lost between them even if the guy's family is connected. But I'm sure thats because they were just trying to cover their tracks right?

Can some of it be attributed to privilege, wealth, racism, etc.? Certainly. If you can pay for a good attorney with the time to dedicate to your case you're better off from the jump. The reality is that a ton of judges just have a very perverse sense of justice that is largely based on their own personal biases and experiences rather than any kind of overarching philosophical principles though. There's rarely any consistency to what they do. That doesn't imply a conspiracy though.

His defense attorney is the uncle of one of my friends.

Most of these local small town or small county court systems are run about like Boss Hogg in dukes of hazzard the buddy system.


To quote the great Ronald Reagan, “there you go again.”

He isn’t being tried in a municipal court. He’s being tried in circuit (state) court, and the local judges recused themselves. The judge hearing the case is a retired judge from Dale county. His former courtroom would have been in Enterprise - 120 miles away from Auburn.

The local influence network hill isn’t the one to die on in this case. Harp on family money buying good, very strongly networked defense attorneys others can’t afford and you will have a case you can make.

That’s the max he can get. Actual sentence will be up to the judge. He could get the full 3 or he could get only probation.

Next the kids family will sue the Brambletts estate for being at the wrong place at the wrong time or this would have never happened to their baby.

Like the Waltons of Wal Mart said one time money speaks any language and travels overseas to any place on earth.

So you guarantee being 120 miles is proof positive nothing is corrupt and the entire case is pure as the driven snow.

If you think that you are living in a 1930 love story movie.

As soon as the local judge recused himself the fix was in. Local judge did not want any part of that local powerful family trying to buy this killers freedom. This family sounds like the Ewings off Dallas fixing all their problems with money and influence. More deals and backroom agreements happen in courts than any place on earth. You must be a lawyer trying to protect your dirty profession.

I know this is in jest, but it brings up a really good subject.

There's NO WAY he should have ever been granted YO but if it was going to happen, it's good that it happened now.

Alabama has a 2 year statute of limitations on personal injury suits. The clock starts on the date of the accident or the date the injury was discovered.

The Brambletts were murdered (and that's what it was) on 25 May 2019, meaning the time doesn't expire until 25 May 2021. At 16, he doesn't have a lot of assets but that's also going to mean he was driving a car owned by his parents - who knew or should have known he had a drug and alcohol problem.

Now that we know the criminal justice system has failed them, hopefully the Bramblett children have good attorney who will get on the ball and Ron Goldman/OJ on their arse so that they won't have nearly the assets to spend the next time their tPOS kid gets in trouble.

You would think with his vast experience as a judge he would understand this killer needs to be off the streets. Which cast more doubt as to actions of this judge and the rich family.

Odd being in his 70s he would want to be involved in case like this unless something else influenced him to take it and make this unjust ruling.

The entire case stinks from day one.
