My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: NV
My stepson's biological father was recently involved in a fatal accident while driving his company car. The state alleges he tested positive for alcohol above .08 and methamphetamine above 100 per ml of blood. He is being charged with a Class B felony.
The defendant was entrusted by his employer to drive a company truck with a large towing trailer. As the story goes, he was nearing a yellow light following a motorcyclist that began to slow to stop. The defendant quickly swerved to the side to change lanes in an attempt to make the light, but clipped the motorcyclist with the trailer, crushing and killing him.
Months prior to the accident, I actually had an incident with the defendant that I reported to his work. He incessantly called my house to speak with his son, who did not want to talk to him. I finally answered the phone and he threatened to smash my head in. Later, he drove by my house in his company car/trailer (which was his primary transportation) while I was in the front yard doing some yard work. He pantomimed gunshots at me and made various obscene gestures before driving off.
We long suspected that he was on drugs but there was nothing we could do about it. I pulled some of the threatening text messages he'd sent his 14 year old son, along with his criminal record and sent to his company advising them that he was a danger and he should not be on the road in their car, and that they may be held liable for any crime he eventually committed. His criminal record included narcotics charges, multiple speeding violations (one over 100mph) and even an arrest for attempted murder (the charges were dropped but apparently he brags of actually committing the crime). I also called his supervisor and discussed the matter with him over the phone. The company did not handle this professionally at all. The same day this happened, he knew that I called his work and resumed the threats.
My question is whether or not the letter I wrote would be beneficial to the family of the victim should they decide to sue the defendant or his company (or insurance) civilly. Also, would such a letter and documentation of his conduct (like text messages, voicemails, statements, etc) affect his sentencing or be of use to the prosecutor? My wife and I both reported him to the police multiple times for terroristic threats via phone or text. They said there was nothing that they could do, but that we should file a police report to create a paper trail, which we did.
