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

— WFAA (@wfaa) April 10, 2024

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:

So we will put you in the "he's going to jail for at least a year" crowd...

Stop freaking out, he has the best lawyer money can buy. We can look back at
this and laugh at how it many on here were panicking that Rasheed would be spending years in the slammer. When it all was just a slap on the wrist.

[Bowser]

Look, he's going to get sentenced to like 20-25 years in SuperMax, but he's going to be allowed to have work release on the weekends so he can show up and rape souls on the football field. This isn't difficult to see coming.

I worked with this guy he would pull into the parking lot and scurry in to make a call on a landline phone in the office. He spoke low so we couldn't really hear him. Then he would get off the phone and start talking to us, I thought the behavior was strange as it went on every working day.

Come to find out he was on a work release program and had to call to check in that he was at work, turned out he had a few DUI's and he had to do that routine for six months.

From information gathered in this thread he’s either Hitler or being framed.

I’m way off base, I was under the impression he was going to be given the key to the city of Dallas for exposing their narrow lanes on the freeway.

I think we need a new thread.

You have an example of a former NFL player that went to a prison like that?

[StinkBox]

It's like there's no room for discussion after reading through this. If you don't immediately say he's going to fine for 8 felonies then you think he's going to be sentenced to life in prison for his 8 felony charges.

Just stop pretending you can predict the future. I don't know what's going happen yet and neither does anyone else.

8 felony charges is nothing to scoff at in the least.

I'll try to make this clear:

1. I don't know the outcome but neither do you
2. 8 felonies is bad any way you look at it
3. I hope you have big tits and ass that looks great in a bikini for this complete lack of logic to be ignored

the hell with this place

It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.

And, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

And because both cars were made by GM, both cars were available in metallic mint green paint!

I instantly started reading it in her voice once I hit “positraction”.

She was so ****ing sexy in that movie.. that’s all I have to add. Carry on.

I think he'll pay a shit ton of money and most of this will go away - like it does for a lot of NFL/Pro players. He keeps his nose clean it won't be an issue.

[Rainbarrel]

If he goes to county he still has to work to pay child support. Tyreek can make him a sweet deal

Went ahead and touched that up for you.

His lawyer is a Texas State Senator after all, and I do believe Clark makes his home in that state.....
