Not a lawyer but I don't know why these kids aren't getting hit with some kind of homicide or manslaughter charge also. Dropping someone in the middle of the road who is borderline comatose sounds like negligent homicide to me. The whole story is so horrific.
UPDATE: Reggie's bar has liquor license suspended after death of Madison Brooks >

They'll be back. It's not their first rodeo. They will pay some fines and follow so newly imposed rules but nothing fundamentally will change. >

Normally I'd agree with you (I'm familiar with Reggie's and its history) but this is high profile enough that I don't know if they can recover. >

Their owners need to be dragged into court as well. >

I would be happy with seeing them lose their liquor license here permanently and forcing them to go bankrupt. >

What sane girl will want to go into that rape/murder den now? >

Sadly it’s not the first incident at Reggie’s and still maintains its popularity >

Her poor parents.  I don’t know if I could live knowing my child died in such a way, or anyway actually, but this is horrific. >

Totally agree. They are victims here too. If it were my daughter, my current life would effectively be over. The only thing that would keep me from offing myself is my other kid. >

I'd have to take the rapists with me. >

Why don't we hear about more vengeance from broken parents? I know how I'd spend my free time
edit in case I sound like some r/iamverybadass dbag:
I have no idea what it must feel like to go through what these parents go through. I'm just saying, I'm shocked you don't hear about them losing their shit and getting revenge. I just picture them having all the time in the world and devolving and spiraling. Like where would you go from there? >

I have to imagine because the bloodlust people have in hypotheticals is pretty hard to act on when you have so many other things to concern yourself with after losing a child. >

Well that and if they have another child….  I wouldn’t give a fuck though.  Sometimes there truly is a time to kill. >

Poor kid. What a terrible way to go. Rip. >

I can’t imagine how the parents feel, that’s a helluva heartbreaking phone call to receive >

Then to learn that her last moments alive were a brutal gang rape. 
I don’t know how I could possibly go on after that. 
It’s just too much. >

I know it is terrible to say but I hope with her BAC being that high she wasn’t aware of what was really going on.  I honestly hope she was not conscious for those last terrible hours of her life.  Poor girl. 
How the hell were people as young as 17 at a bar drinking.  How could her friends leave her, how could other people at the bar fail to see how drunk she was and let her leave with four random guys.  So many people let her down. >

How could the rapists parents raise boys who thought that was ok.   
It’s not like she got attacked by wolves when she was out late in the woods—   Her rapists were people just like the people at the bar.  Which parents raised their sons to be  monsters? >

Man raising a boy. This is in the forefront of everything I do parenting. >

As a man raising 2 girls, thank you. >

I don't know where to put this comment, I guess. But here I go. I went to Homecoming with a dude my Sophomore year of HS. I was new to the school as usual (as an Army brat), and didn't know hardly anyone when homecoming rolled around. He was a kid in my Spanish class. Quiet....but just seemed shy to me at first. 
It was until the "date" happened that I got the creepy vibes from him. The way he looked at me was just....off. I don't even remember what he said, but he made comments that made me very uncomfortable. I was so relieved when the night was over. I avoided him after that. 
This kid was Nicholas Holbert. He went on to murder a young female soldier in Fayetteville NC a few years later.
Edit to add.... I would also go on to become friends with Chris Watts for the next two years at that school. Ugh. >

Jesus that’s a horrible story
