Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was driving 156 mph seconds before he slammed his Corvette into the back of a Toyota SUV in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning, killing the driver...Prosecutors also said they found a loaded handgun on the floor of Ruggs' Corvette...The former first-round pick, considered a rising star in the league, was leading the team in receiving yards and tied for the lead in receiving touchdowns.

Game over, man. Game over.
I think he is going to be made an example of and will get a long sentence.
People are sick and tired of the elites getting away with murder, so to speak and judges know this
She and her poor little dog are walking over the Rainbow Bridge together.
If that was my daughter, I’d find a way.... his countdown would begin. That was murder, not an accident.

Vigilante justice and jury nullification may become much more common as regular folks get fed up being led to the slaughter like lambs, and courts refuse to do what they are supposed to.
It’s preferable to crash into a small light car. Pushed it over 500 feet.
If that had been a tri-ax dump they’d never get the body parts out of the chassis, just use a pressure washer.
He’s hiring the Cochran Group and claiming “unintended acceleration”.
If the gas pedal sticks
You must acquit
There are multiple precedents for athletes returning to their jobs after brief or no punishment, always at the request of the survivors, who, quite sensibly, seek cash rather than some vague psychic satisfaction from confinement in prison.
I can name one example in the NBA and three in the NFL without even reflecting on it.
The damage to the Corvette looks moderate, which means the collision took place far below the shrieking headline of 156 mph.
And the woman’s dog was burned up.
I’m sure it was unintended.
I doubt he planned on ramming the vic’s car.
As for the vehicle malfunctioning...
SNORT.
I just recalls and TSBs for his ride. Bupkis related to that.
But given what the victim’s autopsy report is likely to show, both client and lawfirm are idiots if they don’t throw him on the mercy of the court.
He’d be far better off copping a plea and taking his lumps.
Which makes me wonder if that lawfirm is there to protect their client...or something/someone else.
...just checked...
Now he’ll be the fastest felon in the slam.
The impact was at 127 mph according to the report.
It punted the Toyota over 500 feet and the Vette wound up another 500 feet beyond that. So a lot of kinetic energy to be dissipated.
“They look like instant de-capitation machines to me.”
I was indirectly involved (from a law enforcement perspective) in a crash involving a Corvette. Two soldiers from Ft. Benning, Ga. picked up two girls from Auburn University. They were all in the Corvette. The Corvette ran under a school bus that was going home from a football game. There were really only two impacts; the windshield and the Corvette’s occupant’s heads. They were all pretty much decapitated. Fortunately I did not have to go the scene.
lol. You have no idea what you’re taking about
That zeest person is clueless. Don’t bother correcting him.
I saw a still photo of the burning vehicle and the Corvette just a couple dozen feet away.
The damage to the Corvette did not appear to be major.
I also saw a still of the burned vehicle after the fire was out.
Impossible to believe that vehicle was rear ended at 127 mph.
It’s not like the NHTSA solid barrier collision.
The Vette hit a small car at a huge delta speed and pushed it a long way.
This was 3am and probably no traffic in front of the Toyota.
A security guard from a nearby building ran out and tried to get the woman out of the Toyota but the flames were too bad.
Right...
The NBA player shot somebody while under the influence.
The three NFL guys were all DUI and injured a passenger.
None of them went to jail.
All of them went back to work and paid a percentage of their salary to the injured person.
I could find a half dozen more episodes of the same story if I decided to research this.
Why are you so invested in your personal narrative?
Bizarre.
At 200 mph, by the time your brain recognizes the object directly in front of you on the road, you have already passed, run over, or slammed into it.
