Adarius Hayes Charged in Deadly Crash

[hoops156]

That is not a determination by a jury or even judge. Don't forget that part of it. This is a charge. He isn't proven guilty yet. He can make his defense

when they bring these level of charges, theyre pretty **** sure with the investigation that what theyre reporting to the media is correct esp since this isnt a small county that isnt capable of proving a. possible overcharge. pinellas SAO can handle this. also very unlikely this even goes to trial too as he likely pleads out for a lesser sentence

he was doubled the limit at the time of the crash and driving recklessly with a history street racing and speeding. hes ****ed.

 

[hoops156]

It will almost assuredly be a plea in the end. I honestly don’t know what kind of defense Hayes and his team could raise.
The car will provide proof of his speed and witnesses will provide evidence of the reckless manner of driving in addition to the speed.

In Georgia each count of vehicular homicide carries a potential sentence of 15 years.

**** prolly plea out for a 10 year sentence with ability for early release is my guess

 

[hoops156]

This is a fair question. It doesn't absolve Hayes one bit, but the reason your kids should ALWAYS be buckled in is because you never know what kind of dipsh*t is out there driving like a maniac.

nowhere has it been reported that the kids were unbuckled. again, its a CIS rumor

So as an Insurance Agent who doesn’t just sell insurance, but actually consults, educate, & look at actuarial data, younger individuals (assuming licensed at 16 yrs old - 24 yrs old) have always been the most expensive due to their lack of experience/caution. However, there’s tangible data showing this new epidemic of youngsters being absolutely reckless w little regards for themselves or others has spiked exponentially since the world shut down. What’s more alarming is a new demographic that’s following this same course: Ages 25-35.

It’s across all cities, brotha. I’ve had convos w parents asking “what can they do” b/c their child have been involved in exhibition speeding occurrences that resulted in tickets, total loss accidents, disablements, & unfortunately deaths. If imma keep it , laws r way too lenient, especially on minors involved in such activities. There’s little to no deterrents to stop this. Same thing w drunk drivers; u’ll hear of a person being on their 3rd DUI accident in the legal system, & it’s like WTF?

Lawless & reckless behaviors are often met w slaps on the wrist, especially in vehicular matters. One of my frat’s sons was literally split in half on his street leaving his house. Both he & his passenger lost their lives immediately as a kid was doing 90 mph down the residential street. My frat had to find part of his son’s torso in a tree. U know what happened to the 17 yr old & his family?
-A citation
-A brief trip to juvie
-Insurance claim (which they had the bare minimum required by law)
-A civil suit that fell flat b/c the single mom didn’t have any assets
-Kid walks free

I feel very bad for Hayes b/c he’s gotta live w this, but when the incident happened after seeing some fans being fanatics trying to defend bro saying the family made an illegal turn into him, it sickened me, & it was hypocritical AF.

I knew based upon the point of impact he violated several traffic laws & could be charged w/ vehicular manslaughter. Yes there’s a duty to yield when making a left, but if they already made the turn b/c of their right & AH was still gunning 30+ mph over the speed limit, it could be argued if he was following the law, there wouldn’t have been an accident. That’s what SIU is for.

This is a life changing event for all.

What a horrible situation for that family.

 

[OldhamA]

You see this type of dip**** behavior all over 95 everyday. Playing games with other people’s families

I drove through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and North Florida a couple of years ago on a road trip. I've never been as afraid for my life in a car as when I entered SoFl.

Genuinely absolute maniacs - and I routinely drive on the M6 (look it up).

The further south you drive from Palm beach the crazier and more BMWy it gets.

He will have his day in court. Terrible situation.

I would guess 10-15 years in prison followed by a lengthy probation.
And in most states, vehicular homicides parole out pretty early. They are not as likely to reoffend as most criminals, they are non-violent in the parole contact, and in this case there were no drugs or alcohol involved.

In Georgia he would serve about 20-40% of his sentence in custody.

The new age demographic you note is very scary. It used to be that we slowed down, a lot, after turning 25.

What do you think accounts for the demographic change up to 37 yoa?

Brother, I made a prediction back in 2020 & I swear on my life I said this:

After the pandemic, global shut down, we’re going to experience a new level of cabin fever. Ppl’s patience, rationale became cooked when normalcy stopped.

I started seeing ppl blatantly run red lights, stop signs, feel like they had to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. I started seeing ppl screaming in their cars if the light was taking, too, long. I started witnessing this sense of entitlement, lawlessness, rebelliousness.

I’m not certain of it, but I strongly feel being cooped up the house for **** near a year, not being able to experience life or freedom did something to us as a society. The amount of crash outs we’ve seen pre 2020 via post 2020 has been astounding.

 

[CaneThang2020]

I think 15yrs probably would be unlikely, but we’ll see. Some factors Id assume his lawyer would use in his defense are the kids reportedly weren’t buckled in. But who knows if that was misreported or not. If they are saying this was an 80mph side impact they could have still been ejected while buckled. But like his defense would say two deaths were caused by them not wearing seatbelts. And of course someone making a left turn doesn’t have right of way. That Plus the driver of the opposite vehicle being almost 80, and they’ll probably argue that that person made a big mistake regardless the speed Hayes was traveling. And of course I assume this is Hayes’ first felony (but apparently not first speeding ticket), and he wasn’t under the influence or anything. Didn’t try to flea…

But ultimately he’s an adult operating a deadly weapon and showed basically zero care for how he’d harm others, and his actions actually were very predictable they’d harm others….When you think about it why would that be any different than like going to a gun range and being careless with a gun that resulted in killing 3 people?

I don’t think he’ll get more than like 6 years in a plea deal. But he probably SHOULD get like minimum 25 years in an actual trial…

You just want this stuff to stop at the same time - I used to say they need to take it back to the Medieval Times….seen this crazy show once where they suggested to largely eliminate crime it would take the punishment levied out in public venues for violent crimes (not Hayes situation obviously)….

You Take 1 Life - your life is taken in a public square

You Steal - Your Hand is chopped off in a public setting

You Take 3 Lives - Your life is taken plus your next two closest of kin

You do any kind of molestation/rape - you get 4 ropes tied to ur limbs and 4 horses or bulls pull in 4 different directions…

You maybe right.
And the younger people were, the more they seem to have been impacted by the lockdowns. Which fits into the age groups you are noting.

 

[The canesman]

One poor decision ruined many lives. A real tragedy.

The number of incidents are absolutely growing, and not just with kids, bc we've become too lenient to those who break the laws while at the same time allowing people to glorify it on social media and for some to earn income for it. Same thing with all the takeover bs, with kids taking over stores or streets with bicycles and putting their lives at risk swerving in traffic, but when they get hit, it's the driver's fault.

You give an inch, stupid will take a yard. You give a yard, stupid will take a **** mile. That's where we are.....and at the end of the day, good people suffer most.

As for Hayes, i know nothing about the kid....he might be a great young man...and some good people/kids simply make bad choices that land them in the same situations of bad people. But every choice in life has a consequence.

 

[nickster]

What a horrible situation for that family.

Very well said to say the least. I've been a licensed agent in FL for over 43 years and seen so many senseless accidents because kids don't make smart decisions. I feel bad for both families here but especially the victims. Mr Hayes is going to have to repent and become a better person in prison. He needs to understand the gravity of his senseless act.

 

[SSCane]

At this point, would his best option be to go for a plea deal? He’ll be locked up for a long time, but it could also give the victims’ family some closure without the pain of a trial.

I think so, he's looking at like 15 years for each count. His best bet is to serve them concurrent.
How ever this plays out, he's going to jail for a long time. I don't see much chance of leniency. We are talking about two little kids being killed. What a tragedy for all involved, including Adarius, his life is destroyed as well. But especially, the father. As a father myself, I can't imagine what the father is going through. I would have rather perish along with them, than go on. Just an awful, senseless loss of life due to stupid reckless negligence.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Unfortunately it happens at all colleges. Look at UGA for example. He ****ed up royally and will have to pay the price.

Still don’t understand the joy of going stupid fast on the road. I was always on some chill **** driving. If you need speed go to the track bruh that’s why they there. People that drive like that even on the highway I get mad ash.

One time some young kids were speeding on the highway in Jersey. They almost made me crash and they get up ahead crash on the guard rail, I had to switch lanes and hit that break bruh. They got out the car limping and I slowed down so to breaking I said good for your dumb asses….then I drove off. ****em

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Almost got me and my family killed

 

[JD08]

nowhere has it been reported that the kids were unbuckled. again, its a CIS rumor

It was reported that the kids were thrown from the car, that's where the assumption comes from. It's just tragic from all sides.

 

[TerragonSix]

For those that are innocent until proven guilty, the black box tells all.

As for the kids being thrown out of the car because they weren't buckled, no competent lawyer will go in front of a jury and say, "Well, it's really the parents fault for the kids being killed."

You would **** a jury off in that situation. Because what would the prosecutor say? "The defense wants to insult your intelligence and tell you that a big time football player deserves a pass because of his reckless behavior, so he blames the parents of the kids. May I remind you who caused the accident in the first place?"

Guy is gonna get a plea deal down to 3-5, probably out in 2 or so. Dead people are involved. There was that idiot truck driver that tried to do a illegal u-turn on the turnpike, he's probably looking at 3-5 years.

 

[407cane]

my life changed 5 months ago when we had our first. I cannot fathom losing a child

I also couldn't fathom being the reason why 2 children were killed

sad story and clearly he wasn't thinking of consequences but he's gotta live with it. hopefully in jail he can find a meaning to better the world
