Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
Not sure we know all the details here yet. Are we sure the kid moved his body? I have not seen any details yet so probably best we don't make any assumptions about what is a horrible tragedy all around.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
Yes, the only thing I'm finding is Pedro, the driver, was taken to the hospital, later charged with DUII and he lied to the police saying he had no passengers. Foto was found 5 hours later by someone going by. But it sure smells, I hope he didn't drag him to the bushes.lmduck wrote:Not sure we know all the details here yet.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
Hope so too Alan. It's a pretty ugly situation and I would expect more details will surface next week but based on what we know now this has all the makings of a homicide. Just horrible.Alan wrote:Yes, the only thing I'm finding is Pedro, the driver, was taken to the hospital, later charged with DUII and he lied to the police saying he had no passengers.

I have to think that MC and Leavitt are taking this pretty hard.
Just no words for this.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
My thought is maybe the driver thought Fotu got up and left? That’s all the kid would need trying to find another school and scholarship, to be involved in a rollover car wreck even as a passenger. I seriously doubt the kid would of had the time to get out of the car and drag Fotu into the bushes, especially after waking up the whole complex with the wreck.Alan wrote:Yes, the only thing I'm finding is Pedro, the driver, was taken to the hospital, later charged with DUII and he lied to the police saying he had no passengers.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
Whether he was ejected or dragged out, you hate to think that he was unconscious but still alive and died because he didn’t receive prompt medical care.
This is heartbreaking. I feel so bad for his family.

The thought that he may have suffered for some time after the crash is one of the worst things about the whole incident.DuckMastaFunk wrote:Whether he was ejected or dragged out, you hate to think that he was unconscious but still alive and died because he didn’t receive prompt medical care.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
That's really all they can charge him with. Anything higher would get dropped in a plea or not be able to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He will serve some time, probably 4-7 years.

I'm sure they'll add a few more and he'll likely end up getting slightly more than that.TualatinDuck wrote:That's really all they can charge him with. Anything higher would get dropped in a plea or not be able to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He will serve some time, probably 4-7 years.

From the story...If convicted, the minimum prison sentence for first-degree manslaughter in Oregon is 10 years.

Re: Sad news about Fotu Leiato
I agree, more charges will follow, right now they have man slaughter, enough to hold him and end the risk of him taking off.greenyellow wrote:I'm sure they'll add a few more and he'll likely end up getting slightly more than that.TualatinDuck wrote:That's really all they can charge him with.
