Racing a football player with a jeep trackhawk. Some of you know what that car is, wish I had one, it is a beast. The explorer is not. I'm just doing the math here. Carter could be charged with extra penalties. Leaving the scene, an accessory to a vehicular homicide, and more. Now everyone will be in CYA mode and lawyer up. Lied twice to the cops. Took off, did he call 911?

True, but we are talking about liability here. Why was gannt there? Why did the police call gannt about the accident? This smells worse than a hong Kong fish market.
That’s the biggest issue in this story, IMO. Leaving the scene, street racing, possible accessory to vehicular homicide. Extremely poor judgement and reckless decisions.
All anyone has to do is show a pattern of a similar lack of oversight and they are just as likely to win in a lawsuit as not.
This is called, "Georgia has replaced us, therefore, we need to get rid of Kirby by all means necessary. Someone dies? It's HIS FAULT!! Fire him!"
Barring something we don't know right now - and I always hold the right to change my POV if something else emerges - Kirby ain't getting fired for this. This is called "dream on if you're even considering this might happen."
someone explain how what Carter did is any different than what Ruggs did.
Tide-HSV would be more qualified to answer that, but my knee-jerk, completely unprofessional "lawyered" opinion is, that would be on the fringes of liability and would be very hard to gather the evidence to prove that.
The majority of companies who go to the expense of putting GPS on their vehicles are actively tracking unauthorized use. Granted, I know they are out there, but if UGA is one of the companies using GPS tracking and NOT monitoring it, I would be very, very surprised.
Carter wasn’t driving the vehicle that wrecked. In court that is a big difference
If you have a company vehicle and go get drunk in it and wreck it, then the company will say you were using the vehicle in a manner in which they did not condone. They will cite employee manuals and employee training... even cite federal and state laws from a drivers license test
unless someone finds a message from a UGA administrator that said “take the company vehicle, get drunk and go racing afterwards” then it’s going to be hard the blame to be placed on UGA itself
will UGA come out of this clean? No absolutely not, I’m sure a lot of money will be spent. Will the courts decide that UGA administration is at fault for this incident? That’s unlikely
What exactly will happen to Jalen Carter? I don’t know, but currently the charges are misdemeanor charges. However, I don’t see them wasting time to bring him in for no reason
as far as a lawyer being on scene, I’m sure every UGA player (and other programs players) is told and trained that if something bad happens to immediately call a lawyer. This is probably something any of us should do in a bad situation, right or wrong

he was drag racing the car that did wreck. we don't know if he was drunk or not because HE LEFT THE SCENE!
Now tell me again how innocent he is.
I’m not saying he is innocent or guilty. I’m saying that comparing him to ruggs incident is apples and oranges. If you want to compare Chandler to Ruggs, it would be more apples to apples
Carter was on scene and a cop dismissed him from the scene. If the cop did not follow a protocol on Carter then an investigation should be placed on the officer and police department. He left the scene because an officer dismissed him from the scene after questioning (if that’s misinformation please let me know, this is what I’ve been told/read)
again, I have no idea what happened that night and if Carter is innocent or guilt…. Or if he is guilty exactly what he is guilty of
SEC Sports - where if the guy is on YOUR TEAM you cite legalities and if he's on the OTHER, you insist upon trial, conviction, and execution because that person has something to hide and probably supervises dog fights while sacrificing children to Satan and selling crack to teens.
The reactions of various fan bases to BOTH the Brandon Miller AND this case are a case study in this. (And NO...I'm NOT comparing the ACTIONS OF THE PRINCPALS INVOLVED - I'm comparing the predictable reactions of FANS to the moment something comes out).
(This is not directed AT anyone personally, either).
The same thing happens when an NZAA investigation comes up.
"Is my team's name on the list? No. FRY 'EM!!"
"Yes? Well, everyone does that."

again drag racing. if everyone drives normally this tragedy could have been avoided. everyone is at fault here
It's called human conscious and subconscious bias. Welcome to being human, it's a beautiful screwed-up mess.
If Chandler lived then Chandler would be facing a sentence similar to Henry Ruggs
Even if Jalen Carter had a BAC 3 times the upper limit, he would not be facing a sentence similar to Henry Ruggs. Unless* there is some sort of video of Carter physically running into the car that Chandler was driving and causing Chandler to wreck.
