Raiders Henry Ruggs III charged with DUI resulting in a fatal car crash

If he and his laywers are smart they will plead guilty and go for reduced time in prison.   If it goes to trial the jury may throw the book at him.

Gotta be found guilty first.  

Man, if he can find a lawyer good enough to get him out of this mess that man/woman/them needs to go into the criminal defense HOF! First ballot.

Is watching porn and masturbating really multitasking?

It is when your drunk. That can be like trying to hitter a ping pong ball ball with a wet noodle.

Has Ruggs issued an apology to the family whose member he took the life of?

For Christ’s sake, give him time to sober up

Sorry Datone, but that's bullsh*t.  If you drink, have a DD ready.  If you don't have a DD, then you're walking.  If you're too far to walk, get a hotel.  Don't want a hotel, then take an NFL car.  Don't want the NFL to know you were drinking, take an Uber.  Don't want an Uber to know where you live, then get an old school taxi and pay cash.  You drank, you figure out how to get home safely.  If you're too stupid to figure out how to get home safely, THEN DON'T DRINK!

Schefter said on Denver radio today that the average sentence for what Ruggs is charged with in Vegas is 13 years.  On top of that, it's very unusual these charges are connected to someone going 157 mph.  Money does wonders in the justice system but remember, Ruggs is a nobody now.  He's an ex-NFL player in a town that sees more famous people than anywhere in this country excluding NYC and LA.  Guess we'll see.....

EDIT: Now if Ruggs did this in Tuscaloosa......probably has to sit out the first half against Northwest Alabama Tech State.

Agree 100%. Gotta be adult about it.

Yes, but he's also a young Black man who killed a young White woman, so he has that strike against him. The dog dying is also a strike against him. Guess we'll see.....

FTFY.

The DA of Clark County loves press.   I’m predicting he won’t offer Ruggs a deal that Ruggs would consider accepting and this goes to trial.   Any camera time the DA gets, who has an election coming up in 2022, is a win for him.
