"In a pretrial motion, attorneys Terry Fann and Ben Parsley examined 58 fatal traffic crashes with no alcohol present during the past five years investigated by Murfreesboro Police and the Tennessee Highway Patrol in Rutherford County. Only one person, a woman, was prosecuted for reckless homicide in those crashes."
I'm sorry, did any of these cases involve a person traveling 72 mph in a 35, 2 seconds before they hit them? This was an accident that could have been prevented if he was traveling the speed limit.

@Macgyver: I think, perhaps, a little more transparency might ease the minds of concerned citizens...
@MikePirtle: any chance you can publish information on the 58 cases they "reviewed"?

I see the "race card" has been played.

I dare say many of those cases have the same details except they were not in law enforcement and backing up another officer in need, does this make it right by no means no, but, these guys and girls have make this same choice almost everyday, they call it 10-18 traffic. Check it out, every department does it, I dare say in the future most department will no longer allow this and we the citizen will be waiting much longer for help. It is a catch 22. I will say if this had have happen in any other neighborhood this would not be in court. The bottles and not giving a proper statement and the paper putting him on trial is what has made a joke out of this. He will never be convicted of the reckless homicide, the false statement and improper disposal of evidence....yep.

"Fann and Parsley contend the prosecution of Killings, who is black, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. and Tennessee Constitutions. Lakeisha was black."
Good thing the car wasn't balck, worse yet it was probably white. So if the policeman had been white, then equal protection clause wouldn't apply? So how does skin color even aply? I bet the jury sees right through all this crap.
