A Montgomery Police Officer testified during Laffitte's 2017
preliminary hearing that crash data from the suspect's car, a Dodge Challenger with a Scat Pack or larger engine, revealed the defendant was driving 144 miles per hour just 1.5 seconds before the crash in the late hours of Saturday, May 14, 2017. The car slowed to 106 miles per hour just half a second before impact. The data from the car is comparable to a black box from an airplane. The officer also testified that Laffitte's blood alcohol level was .04 four hours after the crash, and they located empty alcohol bottles in the defendant's car.
