Chris Soules and his “high-powered” lawyers have released a statement that contradicts early details about the Monday accident that resulted in Kenneth Mosher’s death and Soules’ arrest.
Though initial reporting from sources like TMZ suggested Soules “fled” the scene of the accident without providing any assistance, a statement released by Soules’s attorneys on Thursday claims the farmer (and former Bachelor star) “contacted law enforcement immediately” and “attempted to resuscitate [the victim]” while waiting for EMTs to arrive.
His statement continues:
“His attorneys are confident that once all the evidence is made public, it will show Soules acted reasonably and did everything in his power to provide aid to Mr. Mosher…Everyone in this close-knit farming community is mourning Mr. Mosher’s passing. Soules offers his sincere condolences to the Mosher family.”
They’ve asked the public not to “prejudge” Soules.
