one from the LE side of the house...it is not uncommon for a situation like this to not make a decision about booking the suspect until later; in all honesty they probably have not completed the detailed investigation that goes witha fatal traffic accident yet... i saw a report saturday finally completed on a simple fatal that took about a month to complete. Until the investigation is complete, no final thoughts on what to charge exist yet ( possibly). If the suspect was obviously DUI, it might be handled differently ( I cant and wont speak for FL cops). My gut: MR Lane didnt get special treatment, and if charges are filed he will get treated like everyone else.
My other comment... about 2 years ago I had opportunity to walk into Billy Lanes shop in Melbourne with a group of filthy, dirty;tired Soldiers who wanted to but a T-shirt. It was closing time, and they unlocked the door,let our group in and ddnt rush them in the slightest. after about 10 minutes, Billy came out and spent time taling to the Soldiers and encouraging them to sit on his expensive custom bikes and "get a feel for them". He was as down to earth and humble as anyone I have met and would have sat there all night. It was apretty neat moment for these young troops and one they wont soon forget.
This is a horrible, stupid "accident" { we dont use that term anymore here, they are "Traffic Crashes" }. My heart goes out to all involved. nothing can change what happened; but it is made any better or worse by the fact that "celebrity" is involved. All we can do is all learn from this and all make smart decisions on 2 wheels or 4.
In the end, the system will run its course, and the outcome may or may not be fair.
