Actually I think in Arkansas if they can prove alcohol is in your system and you are underage, you are then "a minor in possession" of alcohol. I have no license right now thanks to Arkansas's harsh view on alcohol. Last time a cop in Louisiana saw me drinking, he specifically said "drink one for me, I'm out" no lie 
. I was just following orders!

Sweet Christ. Everyone went full retard. While the law may provide that a party under 21 may drink, it does not allow overconsumption. If a 19yr old is passed out drunk, and the folks are there..no biggie? Not quite.
Alright, bottom line on this dumb shite. The case isn't going to trial. The attorneys are putting things out there that will put pressure on the ADA to give a better offer. End of story.
To all the "HE'S BLAMING THE VICTIM!" and "HURR DURR passed out doesn't matter secks assault hang him mama said no teabag" crowd..shite happens. Attorneys do things that make you uncomfortable...and you pay for it. They send out press releases that blame the vic. They take up positions that are unpopular. They keep your arse out of jail. Sorry for partying.

I'm pretty sure any minor can consume alcohol if they're with their guardian in LA. I remember watching a show on MTV about that family in Port Allen, and they had their 12 year old's putting down beer. They even made a reference to how it was legal in LA for minors to drink in the presence of their guardians

I just want to know why you think that press release will pressure the DA into giving a better deal. You keep alluding to this, yet I don't see anything in it that makes the tea bagger look any better with regard to public perception. What exactly do you see besides bullshite deflections?

If you have the law, pound the law. If you have the facts, pound the facts.
If you don't have either, pound the table.

So you're saying since the tea bagger doesn't have the law or the facts on his side, his lawyers need to deflect attention away from him to get him a "better" deal?
Why do you think the DA would offer a better deal when the case is basically gift wrapped?

Man, you never know what is going on. The dude's lawyers and the DA may be good friends. I know a lot of defense attorneys here in my local hometown who are good buddies with the DA. Im sure there are agreements made all of the time.
There is an attorney in Huntsville that handles DUI cases. I havent ever used him because I have never gotten a DUI. People have told me if you got the money, he will get the charges dropped. Stuff like that happens all over every day even though we may never hear a word about it.

Because DA's use reason, free from passion, unlike college football fans.
Bottom line. People commit crimes. They meet all the elements of a criminal statute. The DA takes into consideration facts outside the scope of the statute. Happens everyday.

big difference in this case...a video that went viral with a crowd cheering on...for the world to see...

Doesn't matter. Viral video or not..things have a way of working themselves out.
Vic doesn't want to go forward with a case due to shame = attorney working a good deal.

I don't get how you think teabagging is ok. Think about the kids.

They make a hell of a good point; Mr. Downing is still a dumbass though. I mean what an immature thing for a grownass man with a kid to do. Not sure if he should have to basically pay with his life for it though.

I sold my soul a long time ago on a matter much more terrible than a teabagin'. People are going to do dumb things. Attorneys are going to grandstand, and DA's are going to cave on shite. Welcome to the real worldd. The guy who shot someone? He is going to serve 4 years because the prisons are overcrowded..the teabagger? He is going to get a deal because at the end of the day..shite isn't that big of a deal.

In Arkansas, a minor can drink at home under parental or guardian supervision. At least it used to be that way. The 18 year old kid at Krystal could be arrested for public intoxication in Arkansas, as with most places, but not post hoc.

That seems like such a fuzzy law. What if I'm drinking at home, with parents present, but asleep? That pretty much sums up my early years.
