Chopper builder hurt in fatal crash (Billy Lane)

silver · Post by **silver** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 6:35 am

Just to bring this back around, Billy Lane was given a "Not Guilty" in North Carolina for a DWI which he was charged with when he refused to take a breath-a-lyzer test. Also, the prosecutor in Florida has dropped two of the three charges against Lane. I haven't found a reason as yet for this though Lane has hired legal counsel which is very significant. Evidently the leading criminal defense in Florida.

That would be a good start. Then perhaps tied to four FZR's and taken for a ride in four different directions at the same time.

Frankly I'm writing a note to the Discovery channel letting them know how dissatisfied I am that they continue to have this JO still on their broadcasts. I never was big on shows like Biker Build-Off but now I have to consider completely blocking their channel as they obviously don't care about what they're putting in front of my children.

it's a good start silver. i really have a problem with shows on family oriented channels like discovery that continue to give face time to felons like this piece of work.

I hope he serves time for being a reckless son of a bitch.

I'm sure he'll get the best justice money can buy.

Looks like I was right.

Just bringing this back around. In January Billy Lane retained Robert Ralph Berry of Eisenmenger, Berry & Peters, P.A. as additional council to Kepler Funk & Co. Essentially this added team of lawyers have simply delayed the process and are quoted as saying “There’s work that we need to do that is ongoing,” - Robert Berry. “These (types of cases) take whatever time they take, and the court’s always interested in giving people a fair trial, especially with the penalties involved in a case like this.”. Yeah. Cases where lawyers are looking for some virtually insignificant detail so that they can get their clients off. To the best of my knowledge there is no trial date set at this time though there is another sounding on September 21st. The prosecution has a list of 24 witnesses that it can call and it looks like the defense will have them call the entire group.

I really want to vomit after reading all that shit, sometimes I wish us Canadians had the same right to bear arms as US does. But that's a whole nother mess'a'shit.

Can't remember the name of the movie, but"

Neno Brown, Your soul's required in Hell!!! Booom!!!

What really nags my nuggets is that Lane hasn't shown a single sign of contrition. He's still out doing business as usual stuff like signing autographs at bikeweek in Florida.

And was that movie Ghost Rider ? It was a lot better than I thought.

It took 12 months for the young girl who took my best mates life to go to court.

On the phone, missed the red, sailed through and got him square on.

Sentence, loss of licence for 12 months, a 2 year good behaviour bond,
and costs amounting to a few thousand.

the court system can really suck sometimes!!!!

My father was an alcoholic. One memory of him I'll never loose was when he had us in the front seat of his '62 Caddy and drove through the front of an ice cream parlor 'cause he was so gone from drinkin' whiskey. In those days ('66) they just had you pay for the damages and maybe a small fine as long as nobody was hurt. It didn't stop him but fortunately heart disease did.

No John, not ghost rider, although, I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

The movie I was referring to was called New Jack City, extreme caution: this is not a happy feel good movie and quite disturbing, imo. Quite!

I'm fed up as well with all the Hollywood bigshots getting off free and clear. Gee, luckily Paris got a whole two weeks if that of jail time. And now you have Lohan back in trouble. How many times are they going to let these assholes off with only probation til they finally kill someone? Then you have scumbags like Lane that will probably get barely any jail time...if any at all...even when they do kill somebody.

Love a system that can put some 19 year old kid in jail for 5 years for selling a bag of weed but kill somebody and you can be out in two months. I love this country, but the system fupping sucks.

The world is made up of the haves and the have nots. How else can you explain Janklow and the rest of them.

sickle44 · Post by **sickle44** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 1:26 pm

What was that movie where the kid was basically serving a life sentence for stealing some bread because of the colour of his skin? Based on a true story, sickening!!!

Paris Hilton, Just goes to show you: Not who you know, it's who you blow!! She totally got down all over that judge.

Quite sickening to think how much the world is controlled by sex, drugs, alcohol, and cash(oil). Funny eh? Do you see any patern there, like, Addictions!!! There you have it, our society is run by addictions now, Oh Joy

What gets me is that he shows no remorse. None whatsoever.

I agree about the glitteratti. They're almost beyond hope. Look at OJ Simpson, Robert Blake, Martha Stewart and many, many more. As I wrote in another forum "The remedy is to build a better society, one child at a time, one family at a time and one community at a time. It’s called “grass roots” and it’s far more powerful than lobbying our corrupt politicians and judges."

Noticed it was never mentioned in any of his shows on discovery, sadly these days a life isnt worth much anymore.... I would say at least he has to live with what he did every day of his life but a guy like Lane wont give a toss what he did as long as it doesnt touch his millions or his life!

glad this thread stays active. funny thing, my girlfriend just asked me about the case a few days ago. i hadn't heard/read anything about it lately.
