This is hardly objective “journalism.” To say that he was free “to celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving” after the tragic collision is just to fan the flames of outrage from the viewer. The accused should bear the full weight of the law, but cheap drama by this hack cut “from a bloodline of outlaws and lawmen alike” is so amateurish that at first I thought it was a parody. Can we not see any more “reports” by this epic fail of a reporter? Thank you.

While the whole situation is a tragedy for everyone involved, the media is supposed to be impartial. I used to like FitsNews: however, as someone well versed in the law and also journalistic integrity, it clear from this article that hearsay abounds. The Defendant (while again, is still alleged to have committed a terrible tragedy), he is still someone’s son, father, husband, etc. I am unsure what the relevance of the make of his car is relevant to the this article other than to skew the story. I used to read Fits bc main stream media is so biased. I will no longer being doing that. Also, as confirmed “sources” can attest, Defendant arrived to the hospital unconscious and in fact spent several days there. He continues to be unable to walk. Anyone at all familiar with the legal system knows that his attorney probably advised him that it was in his best interest to remain in the state. Therefore, he stayed close by for treatment. This is one of the most biased and worst piece of journalism I’ve ever seen. My heart and prayers goes out to those who lost loved ones in this tragedy and the children still fighting for their lives; however, last I checked this is still America and this piece of trash goes against not only journalistic ethics and personal integrity, but hits to the very heart of the Constitution rendering someone innocent until proven guilty. Again, I am aware of the tragedy of the whole situation but when a journalist is clearly convicting someone for driving a “luxury” car that is pure bullshit reporting and his facts and those of the publisher should be checked and if inaccurate, then acted upon.
Yes a tragedy. The victims were someone’s child, daughter, wife, son, lives taken to soon. Never to see the Sun, never to graduate, never to be born. Defendant made a choice (again) . I presumed (from the video) “defendant Jones”arrived at the hospital unconscious, or semi conscious, but not dead. No broken bones, no dislocated anything, not even major internal injuries. Left the ER hours later. BLOOD ALCOHOL test takes a little while. The State troopers working the fatality’s takes time with a TOTAL station, and reconstruction (factors & calculation of impact/speed/ road/ vehicle weight) the snap chat video showing someone lying in the middle of the road, apparently a male, (presumed to be Jones) is in-line with the story. The photos of the vehicle The documents displayed is in line with the story. Oh the type of vehicle is part of the story. (size weight comparison) identification of the participants vehicle is a factor. I suppose the comment by “what does it matter” referring I presume to how many BMWs Mr. Jones family owns, not the fact about sturdiness, or size? I believe the story has salient facts that support the timeline of events. The statement that Mr. Jones was “denied access to Florida rehab”, does not reflect the presumption that it was voluntary, (as suggested) by his attorney NOT to go to Florida. The presumption of innocence, does not diminish the facts of the event, supported by the photos and court documents. (included in this report)
The peoples right to know, and use of “alleged” is part of the reporters requirement? I “presume”
all evidence supporting South Carolina’s Law Enforcement narrative will be presented to the court. A civil filing is sure to follow. Wouldn’t one “think”? There may be a plea agreement presented. 3rd strike, vehicular homicide? (manslaughter) This is a reflection on real events, not the final chapter of those events. I would like to see what transpires next. Objective journalism Reporting the facts that lead the reporter, supported by evidence, giving the reader the opportunity to make their own conclusions?

Aggravated double homicide DWI, repeat offender. No mercy.
Agreed
This guy Andy is a piece of trash reporter who will fortunately never be any account. Good day sir.
You are, indeed, up to no good.
