Bump, for Madison....thread is really silent on this atrocity.

 

[Marysmith]

I just saw this story… they left her on the side of a road drunk? I personally don’t think she could have consented. This is really a sad story and death.

Four People Have Been Arrested After An LSU Student Was Allegedly Raped, Then Left On The Side Of The Road Where She Was Hit By A Car And Killed

"According to deputies, her blood alcohol content that night was 0.319%, enough to render her unconscious."

This entire story is atrocious! There was definitely no way that she could have given consent with a BAC that high. Happy to see that there has been arrests made - hoping for justice for Madison and her friends and family.

At the bond hearing, 19th Judicial District Judge Brad Myers said that he had watched a video filmed by one of the four suspects inside the car with Brooks.

The judge said that the video shows the suspects “callously” laughing at the drunk 19-year-old woman as she slurred her words, reported local outlet WAFB.

He also reviewed footage taken from Reggie’s Bar which showed Brooks falling over and struggling to stand in front of at least one of the suspects before they left the bar together. Her blood alcohol level was four times the legal limit at the time of her death and her autopsy shows injuries from a sexual assault, according to an arrest warrant.

The judge concluded that – based on the two videos and statements made by Mr Carver to investigators – he said it was clear that a crime had occurred that fateful night.

“The evidence to me is clear,” he said.

This story makes me so angry. I just can't understand how anyone can do this.

Predators. They picked up a drunken 19 year old girl, gang raped her and left her on the side of the road, helpless. Now, she is dead.

They could have chosen any number of options, but they chose this one. LWOP.

I live in Baton Rouge, two of them are already out on bond.

<modsnip> She was in fact dumped because she was so drunk she couldn't give them an address. She also was raped. Can't give consent when your BAC is that high.

I'm so glad to read this. <modsnip: no source link for information/article>

The only thing that 100% prevents rape is men not raping anyone. A woman may be naked and drunk and passed out in the street and if men do not rape her, she will wake up the next morning with a bad headache and that's it.

Carver will probably strike a deal and testify against the 17 year old and 17-year old's 28 year old Uncle. It sickens me that Madi left the bar alone without any of her sorority sisters or some sort of buddy system in place. I do wonder how the bar owner could let his drunk employee leave in the state she was in.

I was in a sorority and yes, there were times I and my sorority sisters got hammered at dive bars. To me, it's unacceptable that there was not some sort of sorority buddy system/support in place. This girl should not have left the bar alone. I cannot imagine being in her place. If Carver cooperates with police and tells the truth, I do believe Carver should get a reduced conviction. I do feel 17 year old should be charged as an adult and that 28 year old Uncle should get the maximum penalty possible. My heart goes out to Madi's family.

I think the 28 year old is the uncle of the 18 year old who raped MB in the back seat of the car, along with the 17 year old who has not been identified, since he is a minor.

The 28 year old uncle was in the front seat while Carver was driving, IIRC. And both the 28 year old uncle and Carver are both charged with principal to third-degree rape.

If the 28 year old is related as uncle to the 18 year old who is charged with third-degree rape, then the question is will the uncle testify against his nephew. He may do so, like Carver, if the prosecution upgrades the uncles's and Carver's charges to principal to first-degree rape, or possibly for other reasons.

 

[chipwhitley]

So the 17 year old perp can't be named because he's a minor but Madison's name, face, and graphic descriptions of what happened to her are able to be published?

There is only one direction to point the blame, and that is squarely at the perpetrators, NOT the victim. It doesn’t matter how drunk she was, someone that drunk can never consent to sex, full stop.
