That's the big question. Dude walking on the freeway at night. What the heck? His car broke down, apparently, but how is he not more careful?

The dude was walking along the shoulder. The coach went around the stopped car, and did not slow down, and plowed the guy. People who do not drive like a retard slow down in cases like this because they have no clue why the car stopped. The drive could be in health trouble, maybe they ran over something, maybe there is something in the road that will wreck a car. The coach is to blame in this case.

An ESPN article I read said that there was a car stopped in middle of highway after an earlier collision and Boeheim swerved to avoid hitting it but then struck a person carelessly walking in freeway. No alcohol involved.

Any driver who has to swerve to miss a stop car in front of them needs to have their driver's license revoked.

Cait took her eyes off the road to light a cigarette. It only takes a few seconds of not looking ahead to get yourself, or someone else, killed.

She wasn't speeding or drunk driving. She might have been tailgating or being inattentive, but nothing that would result in any type of prosecution. I'm sure she is being sued, though.

The CHP report said the cause of the accident was driver distraction while scratching her balls.

You’re actually an idiot. 690 is extremely dark at night. The car was in the middle of the freeway perpendicular on the road. So even if his lights were on after the initial accident (which we don’t know if they were or not), they would be difficult to see. The report said he wasn’t speeding. Literally nowhere does it say he didn’t slow down before hitting the guy, so that is a completely made up statement. It’s upstate ny is February, so there was probably some ice on the roads, going 65 and then slamming on your breaks isn’t going to stop you

It was at night, some highways are not well lit. Did the stopped car have its emergency flashers on? If not, you can't tell if the car is stopped or slowing down, unless the brake lights are on. We don't know if the the car appeared just after a turn and Boeheim saw it at the last minute. Tragic? Yes. But, you can't place blame without looking at the evidence and the road conditions first.

The car stopped was perpendicular to the road - blocking left and middle lane. No lights. Right lane was only one open and the people had jumped out and were running in the dark across the road. A previous car passing had just missed them

It's good to control things that are specifically designed and intended to kill living things.

Yet we regulate the transfer of ownership of cars far more tightly than the transfer of ownership of firearms. In the gun debate, hardly anyone talks about the fact that most guns used in crimes by criminals were obtained via straw purchase.

Wrong, CoachYouAreAHugeDumbass. I can go buy a car right now from a car dealer or a private buyer (with no background check, just plop down cash) and drive away with it immediately. Can't do that with guns.

Hmmm, the victim was Latino. Insert the jokes here. Illegal alien running from away from ICE? Guilty!

Using a cellphone while driving was not illegal at the time.

you are a retard. ever heard of high beams? driving at high speed on an "extremely" dark road at night is absolutely stupidity.

It seems if you are tailgating another car and crash into that car and kill a person, that should be characterized as reckless driving and prosecuted.

Cars being rear-ended happens all the time. If people were focused all the time and left enough space they would never happen, but yet they do. Usually they don't end in a fatality and you can't suddenly make it a criminal act if there is one. Jenner's accident was fairly routine, but the woman's car was pushed into opposing traffic which caused the death.

The driver that rear-ends another car is at fault, so Jenner was/is liable.

There is no accident in hitting someone with a car. Period!

Not true. I've witnessed 2 people killed or badly injured by cars when the driver could not have possibly seen them.

He had no consequences from this.

So you're saying Bruce became a woman to get out of going to jail for killing someone?

Jim Boeheim is a pretty terrible person. His program received one of the harshest NCAA punishments ever with the vacation of 108 victories the loss of a number of scholarships for a number of years. In addition, though I am not comparing him to Joe Paterno, but one of his assistants, Bernie Fine, molested 3 boys over the years. Also, for him not to have slowed down when something was obviously amiss up ahead does not look good.

Jim Boeheim is a pretty incredible person. He is the 2nd winningest coach of all time. He has built a legendary basketball program in upstate ny that generates millions and millions dollars for the local economy every year. He brings pride and joy to his community that he is relentlessly loyal to. He donates millions of dollars to different charities and causes. Though he is cranky and old, he is a good man.

The vacated wins were over one student’s grades and that student had a paper written for him.

Bernie fine? Cmon. Guy wasn’t even charged for anything, and several of the accusers later admitted they lied. You can’t blame that situation on Boeheim.

I feel awful for the victims family and boeheim and his family.
