Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Discussion - #3

Here is a slightly more accurate article and mentions all the motions - http://www.kwwl.com/story/35444983/2017/05/Tuesday/chris-soules-pleads-not-guilty-demands-speedy-trial

In EOnline it says his truck was found at his home. The truck he was driving had to be towed.  The truck at his home was the red one that came and picked him up at the scene (or more accurately slightly down the road from the scene when he started walking).

It's interesting that the video tape of Chris in his initial court appearance may result in the reporter getting charged with contempt. The judge had said no video was allowed and she took the pictures with her cell phone

Funny that her station would show the video after the cameras weren't allowed in court.

I'm kind of expecting some kind of a deal to come out of Chris' charge depending on how solid the case against him is.

Well, my guess is that she didn't tell her employer the judge had said no video. The judge allowed still pictures just no video. So if I had to guess, she took video equipment from the station, the judge said no and then she sneaked the phone video and didn't tell her employer that she wasn't supposed to do it. There was a comment that the station wouldn't comment on a personnel issue, so she's probably in trouble with the station, too

People Magazine: Chris Soules Did Not Have Alcohol or Drugs in His System Following Fatal Crash, Attorneys State

Wow, he's gonna walk away from this. IMO everything his attorneys are trying to block should be a thorough part of his character assessment and past - absolutely needed to make a judgment. Oh well. I was actually looking forward to his house renovations. Now he's just a convict :/\

Chris is not a convict IMO. Chris has the right to be presumed innocent of the charges unless a judge/jury find him otherwise. Chris called 911 gave his info, rendered aide and why he left the scene is up for dispute. Accidents happen....and IMO Chris never tried to claim he was not responsible hitting the tractor. I imagine Chris lives with sorrow over the tragedy every day.
