Never say never, but it would be out of pattern to susped Rice before his criminal trial is resolved, one way or the other.
Considering the league's lack of action on Jalen Carter (and how no one talks about the incident anymore) for the same type of thing, where two of his friends were injured and burned alive while he ran away from the scene, it's hard to worry TOO much about Rice.
I mean, it's not like he destroyed a vaccuum, guys!

Jalen Carter had the ultimate loophole. He was not in college and he was not a member of the NFL either. He was in between those two places, so nobody could discipline him other than the government...and they chose to let him off the hook.
