dead driver of the other vehicle reported blood alcohol concentration = .197, over double the limit. I have not seen any reports on Carters blood level.

I saw a report the he did not have alcohol in his system at the time. How the knew that after he left the scene I do not know. Unless the officer tracked him down within a half hour of the wreck.

I hadn't followed the story closely but would they even have been able to get a blood alcohol reading on him since he reportedly fled the scene?

Depends on how soon they found him.  Considering the BAC of the deceased I would assume if he were drinking with them it would be detected in his system more than a couple of hours later.  If he had very little to drink it probably wouldn't show up an hour later.

Alcohol metabolizes at a predictable rate.  Just because they cant/didnt test on the scene doesnt mean they cant make a determination hours later.

Where is stated that he was tested?  Reports I have read says "didn't appear to be drinking" by....Athens police.  You don't think the cops knew who he was? Unless they took him to the hospital for a BA or toxicology test, I call BS on this one. He just got to go home after he admitted that he lied to the cops and two people were dead.

My comment was more to the general notion that you dont have to blow at the scene or have blood drawn immediately for a medical professional to say that 8 hours ago your BAC was at X.XX.

 

Dont know the particulars of Jalen's situation and didnt mean to put forth info that was specific to this case

This behavior was such a stupid decision by everyone involved.  Unfortunately it was also very tragic.  Even if he somehow gets out of this with minimum legal consequences (and I do not think he should), do not see how any team could trust this guy.

Leaving the scene?????  He was drinking (my opinion)...and had no concern for his friends.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
