Rashee Rice [legal issues megathread]

[DaFace]

The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.

Arrest warrant and potential charges:

Spoiler!

BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Rice, 23, now faces eight charges in the case -- six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault, according to the arrest warrant. All of the charges are felonies.

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Analysis from a defense attorney:

TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

Turned himself in and now out on bail:

I'm ok with seeming like a "seriously strange dude" to you if you see yourself as "normal".

You should do some self-reflection to determine why this situation with Rashee triggers you so much.

Inaccurate… no one can match Otter copy/pasting the Texas Street Racing Laws 100+ times in this thread.

You do understand we can see who posted how many times to a thread right?



You were also the 4th top poster in the last thread. But yeah... it is definitely me that needs the self-reflection to determine why this situation with Rashee triggers them so much.

[WhawhaWhat]

You guys should kiss.

Says the person who openly admits to not being able to root for Rashee moving forward.

The fact you are so impacted by what he did… do some self-reflection as to why it triggers you so much.

Can't say I have done that. But yeah Marcellus... Rice is just a kid that was doing a little bit of speeding, right!?! Boys will be boys... AMIRITE?!?!?!

You haven't done anything remotely stupid though right. Or just maybe you never got caught doing really dumb shit is my guess. In your mind being a moron in BFE Kansas is perfectly acceptable.

And no matter how many times you use the term "Supercar" it doesn't make it worse than if he was in a Honda Civic. You never acted a fool in a "supercar" because you never had one and never will but if you did when you were 22 you would have been a moron I am certain of it because well.....

What's wild is you can see what Rice and his buddies did every single weekend in every major city and in probably almost every medium sized city in the US. There are videos all over twitter of idiots doing worse on the regular.

Its epically stupid for sure especially considering who Rice is and what he is risking career wise, but its not remotely close to being "rare".

Sorry if I am having a hard time getting motivated to find my pitchfork and torch and head to the big rally over this knowing what actually happened vs what "could" have happened.

I can tell you truthfully and honestly that I have never once endangered the lives of others through my recklessness. My own? Absolutely. Multiple times.

Others? Not once.

Wanting him held accountable doesn't mean I won't root for the guy. He is young and has plenty of time to get his life sorted... and he is a Chief. I'm definitely going to be rooting for the guy. I'm rooting for him right now (for him to get his shit sorted so he can be a contributor to this team for the next 10 years)

There ya go, liar.
