[Merged] N/S- Henry Ruggs car accident in Vegas (update from old thread)

Ruggs is being charged with felony DUI resulting in death. Under the statute, a minimum of 2 years in prison is required, and up to 20. Prosecutors may not plea-bargain to a lesser charge as long as probable cause for the charge exists. Probation is not available.

Ruggs is going to prison for at least two years. Under the circumstances, given his grossly excessive speed, his blood-alcohol content, and the horrific manner in which the victim died, I would strongly suspect a greater sentence than the minimum.

Just a awful incident, all around.
