    I am still trying to figure out where the driver got onto 55 at W Memphis going the wrong way? And how did he get to the middle of the bridge before being stopped by the traffic coming at him?

    Maybe the guy in FL acted like he could not speak English because he knew he was going to prison. Thought he could use that to get deported instead? This is the case or he really can just talk a little bit of English but really doesn't understand English. Hint the reason he needed a translator for court hearing. I don't think this has any bad look for Duffy myself. He was being told what happened and gave that information to the public.

    First I’ll address Duffy. His bias kept him from shutting his mouth until the facts were known therefore made himself look foolish.

    U-Turn: I’m not going to get caught up in any conspiracy theories so I’m going to address one thing you said about needing a translator.

    Unless the defendant knows the English language and all its “big words” and nuances then that person is a fool for not having a translator. Especially when the stakes are as high as they are.

    Anyway, I’ve probably overstayed my welcome here so I’m going to avoid anymore back and forth.

    Wasn’t expecting this thread to turn into another on U-Turn idiot.. but here we are.

    I’d like to know this as well. 55 is torn up six ways to Sunday from Memphis into Arkansas with all the construction and rebuilding.

    That new interchange now done in Memphis just after the river bridge is all done so I’m thinking he got on 55 the wrong direction somewhere in the Memphis area because there’s a concrete wall stretching for as long as you can see all the way to the river bridge
