IIRC the guy he hit was illegally walking across a highway or something so that was probably a mitigating circumstance

Was this ever proven? He very well could have been jaywalking but wasn't it just Stallworth's drunken word on that? He also claimed to have flashed his lights at the guy to warn him which seems odd.

And yes to someone who asked - the NFL still has the car service available, and you get charged as an organization. The organization can either charge the players or eat the cost. Nearly NONE of the players use it, but I've met one of the drivers one evening and they're all security detail as well. So they have UBER drivers who carry guns but are retired military/police etc.

Even if the org makes you pay for it yourself, you're worth tens of millions. $500 for a pickup every friday is what, 25k? Cmon man.

Are you sure of this? How does this work? They have this setup in every city with an NFL team? They have this setup in cities that players are likely to visit on their off days or during bye weeks? Who is going to run a car service in god knows how many cities across America and have it hardly get used.

From what I understand of it, they got rid of their own and just literally use a special UBER service now.

He's hosed. There are a few places in America where DUIs get pled down but that's largely a relic of entrenched good old boy culture and the former difficulty of proving impairment.

He's hosed on the evidence. DUI evidence collection has been idiot-proofed to an insane degree.They probably have a blow if they contacted him at the scene. They absolutely have his blood. Challenging a blow is difficult enough, but good loving luck with a blood draw too.

He's hosed on a goodwill plea. There's no hemming and hawing about evidence and there's a legit citizen victim with a family and a city full of have somes with zero sympathy for the rich kid with the fancy car.

Yes, Stallworths case pretty clearly showed the old dude Jay walked and ran into the road hopping a barrier. That’s textbook.

Challenging a blow isn’t difficult whatsoever depending on quite a few circumstances.

For one, most precincts forget to update their software, and the intoxilizer (been 9 years since i handled a crim defense thing so forgive bad memory) has weird accuracy issues if you don’t update the software

You’re dead on about blood though.

LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH
Leonard Little played 12 years!

Manslaughter conviction

After leaving a birthday party in 1998, Little crashed into and killed Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, Missouri who was on her way to pick up her son from a concert. When tested, his blood alcohol content was 0.19 percent, 0.11 points exceeding the legal limit of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received four years probation and was ordered to undergo a thousand hours of community service.

Ah, well that makes more sense.

But if I were a player, I'd wanna deal with UBER directly. So I can imagine why it doesn't get "used" very often from the NFLPA's perspective.

They sub contract out. Every one of these nice car services, even with the protection aspect, exists for people other than players.

As for the accuracy… this was 2 years ago and the driver was driving for someone that y’all loving *hate* but was a higher $ player, going to a charity golf event held by my buddy’s grandpa. Player and driver both said it’s available via NFLPA so not sure if that means you’ve gotta be active roster to get it or?

Yeah, I dunno, maybe the facts are particularly bad here (given what Diva posted about the car being on fire), and they really try to stick it to him. But it would be very surprising if he got 2+ years in prison, unless (even more) horrible facts emerge. (1) It's the reality of plea bargaining - they charge the highest possible thing they could charge you with and use the leverage to secure a lesser plea, (2) if Ruggs is actively cooperating, they won't want to go too hard after a high profile cooperator--might discourage cooperation in other cases, and (3) Ruggs is very rich.

I bet he gets 3-6 months in prison, max, plus a significant probation period or whatever the equivalent is in Nevada.
I think in the Stallsworth case they had some sort of gotcha because the guy he struck was "illegally crossing"

Don't think Ruggs will benefit from that.

My dude intoxoilizers are three gens behind the current hand held models that get automatically plug and play tested and recertified as accurate against a known sample nightly. The machines (excuse me, instruments) are smarter than most cops and will catch and correct procedural fuckups. There's a reason the pro move a few years ago became "refuse all tests, gently caress the consequences" and even that's been countered. Most counties over 10,000 have an on-call magistrate that will authorize a blood draw at the first sign of reindeer games.

As far a I know (I am not a lawyer anymore) it is still always better in florida to refuse to blow as first refusal results in the same license suspension that a dui would. This may also be the case for second refusal but I’d have to look things up and can’t be bothered to do so right now.

One state over. The problem(?) with DUI defense is that the sheer number of them forced a technical solution to spotty evidence collection and it's designed to be simple and easy for the dumbest cop to quickly and easily collect solid samples on the scene. In many states now (not sure about Nevada) you don't even need to prove impairment, you can proceed on just the number. It's led to situations where the prosecution will ask to bar all audio and video of the scene where a defendant is lucid and sober looking as irrelevant.

This is probably veering into derail territory, but I tend to have sympathy for people's first DUI because how the gently caress do you know what your limits are? The most enlightening thing I ever did was do was volunteer for a cop training session where the goal is to get test subjects right on the line. I was shocked at how drunk I felt at .08 but there's no way I would have known what the line was.

In my jurisdiction it's the same way. They'll laugh at you for accepting the automatic suspension, then speed dial the on-call magistrate who walks them through a five minute telephonic hearing to authorize a blood draw warrant. If the dude is insistent enough about a refusal it can take less time than just doing the blow.

I dunno, a friend of mine was murdered by a drunk driver while on his bike. The guys first offense (he was 60?), upstanding citizen, pled no contest and gave the family (he had 2 young kids) literally all his money in the civil case. Judge gave him 9 years in jail.


I know it depends a bit on situation but the days of DUI death only resulting in like 30 days of jail are largely a relic of the past.
