I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the more I learn...no thanks. Just read an article about the crash, 104MPH, driving in to oncoming traffic! Crashed in to an Apartment Building! A total disregard for the safety of others. He KNEW that girl was drunk, and participated in racing anyway.
How he got away with only misdemeanors is beyond me. Especially with a HISTORY of this kind of behavour. I guess a National Championship earns one a get out of jail free card.
"Carter was driving the same Jeep last fall when he was busted doing 89 mph in a 45 mph zone. He was forced to pay a whopping $1,013 speeding ticket."

Jalen Carter, the University of Georgia standout expected to be a top pick in this year’s NFL draft,
was allegedly zig-zagging and driving against traffic as he raced an SUV before it hit a curb and flew into an apartment building, killing his teammate and a recruiting staffer.
Cops said Carter, 21, was driving more than double the speed limit in his 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk as he raced a 2021 Ford Expedition driven by a drunk LeCroy. A release said
both vehicles frequently switched lanes and even drove against traffic “in an apparent attempt to outdistance each other.”
LeCroy was allegedly driving 104 mph just before she struck a curb,
which flung her SUV airborne into two utility poles, two trees, and into an apartment building
The crash happened around 2:45 a.m. after Carter, LeCroy, Willock, and other UGA players were captured by security cameras leaving a strip club in downtown Athens
“Investigators determined that alcohol impairment, racing, reckless driving, and speed were significant contributing factors to the fatal crash,” a release from police said.
