Can we let this thread go. It’s terrible and the poor girl and her dog, eye witness’s saying they heard screams from her car. Let it go. We are better than this. He is not in the NFL anymore and we should move on.

Ruggs lawyer is trying to say the fire department took too long putting out the fire. His lawyer might be a bigger scumb bag than he is

It’s rare - but possible - for the charges to be served consecutively rather than concurrently. But most prosecutors in MO/KS seek concurrent sentences (served at same time). Remember that each charge has a separate burden of proof, too. So if he’s charged with 10 crimes, they may only be able to prove 6 beyond doubt. Or 3.

Yeah, defense lawyers will reach to any extent possible to place blame on anyone else, even if it's a small fraction of blame... check your integrity at the door.

This case is national news. Any leniency given to Ruggs due to his standing as an NFL star will be met with harsh criticism. The fact that the girl was burned alive only adds to it. So sad.

It's just the prosecution putting all their options on the table. Generally speaking it's largely sorted out if/when it goes to trial. It's kinda the inverse of the lesser included offenses rule. I don't care for that one, but I don't typically mind stacking since it mostly comes out in the wash if/when the matter is submitted to the jury.

You could use the “Ignore Thread” feature. Problem solved.

Prosecutors aren't much better, they will do anything to keep their conviction rate % up. They won't press charges against a huge scumbag if they might not get a conviction. They will destroy someone who didn't really do much if it's an easy case. Don't believe for a second that Prosecutors are looking out for the people. Most of them are looking to get a better job as a politician or get on a corporate retainer. |
