    “At some point, my shirt had gotten grabbed. And he ….,” Payne paused, “… he pulled my wrist and pulled me into the vehicle, and he said ‘I have something for you.’”

    She said Herring let go of her wrist and grabbed her by the back of her neck. She said Herring then hit the gas, moving his car forward

    What medical emergency makes someone do that?

    Payne told Tucker there was a state officer present at the initial crash that she was a witness of. She claimed that the officer told her and another witness at the scene outright that Herring was inebriated.

    This is hearsay unless he was breathalyzed. so it may be the case he was just trying to hit and run.

      Every article says that he was not drunk. They all state it was a medical emergency.

        In testimonies from detectives from 2019, it was revealed that a witness said Herring appeared to be in the middle of a medical emergency.

        i haven’t been able to corroborate that claim beyond a witness saying he looked to be in a diabetic shock.

          You are so biased that you couldn’t even take a minute to google before you spouted your nonsense.

          https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/clayton-county/woman-accused-of-shooting-man-who-drove-from-accident-scene-denied-bond/966434516/

          Channel 2 Action News was the only news station in the courtroom when a judge ruled Hannah Payne will stay in jail despite requests from her lawyers to reinstate a $100,000 bond.

          I will quote for you:

          “Fowler said Herring had a medical emergency and wasn’t drunk. It was confirmed by our toxicology that he had nothing, no drugs or alcohol in his system.”

          Oh and an edit to note - your quote above of her description of events is directly refuted by the video a bystander took. That’s why she is going to jail for murder. The things she said there simply didn’t happen.

            Hey, you’re right. allow me to correct myself

            Hit and Run driver dies.

            gun toting redneck goes to jail for life.

            as a relatively decent and upstanding member of society where all that shit is illegal and worthy of punishment. I can safely say the situation resolved itself.

            One less hit and run driver One less gun maniac.

            One more day for us to breathe on this earth. Im not Biased, i just don’t care for illegal activities and. was any of it justified? No.

            But unless you have a time machine to fix all this. we are left with You, me and the mess they both left behind.

            why are we being sensitive to those that erode the fabric of the social contract?

              It was hit and run because he was having a medical emergency. There is a big difference between someone just driving off because eff that and someone having a medical issue. Do you honestly think that warranted death?!

                there is no undoing the Actus Reus, all that is left for the living to do is postulate on the Mens Reus.

                    You:

                    Do you honestly think that warranted death?!

                    Me:

                    Was any of it justified? No.

                    there is no undoing the Actus Reus, all that is left for the living to do is postulate on the Mens Reus.

                    Actus Reus - The act

                    Mens Reus - The Motive.

                    We cannot undo the actions made, all we can do is complain about the motive.

                    none of that discussion helps anyone.

                    what was gibberish? i think you were lacking comprehension, i hope i was able to clarify for you.

      Are you really going to trust the testimony of a now convicted murderer who was trying to win her case with these statements?

        No, I am not going to trust the testimony of a convicted felon. the court system processed the case. Two families are forever destroyed by the actions of this woman. Humans are broken creatures.
