| Billy Lane tries to get off the hook... I know this has been on here a few times, but here is some recent news regarding custom chopper builder Billy Lane (for thse who don't know)... Borrowed from WFTV in Orlando BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The attorney for celebrity motorcycle builder Billy Lane has asked a judge to throw out blood alcohol results in his DUI manslaughter case.
Lane is accused of driving drunk and killing Gerald Morelock when he hit the motorcyclist on A-1-A in September of 2006.
Lane’s attorney has filed motions asking that the blood samples not be allowed as evidence, because Lane did not consent to a blood sample and because they believe the results were tainted by improper care of the sample.
Lane faces up to 15 years in prison.
"because Lane did not consent to a blood sample"
I guess he and his lawyer forgot that you don't have to consent to blood tests if someone dies as a result of a motor vehicle accident. |
