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.

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 bored. Can someone do some moral grandstanding?

Schefter was on Pat Mcafee today and was asked about Rice. He said that the thought around the NFL is he will miss at least a couple of games at some point but of course nothing’s certain.

Man.

We've been overrun by dipshits.

Wait, you mean he's not going to be in jail for 5 years for multiple FELONIES? His future isn't in doubt?

Does the NFL understand that FELONY is capitalized in this case?

My mother is dead so you may have to go back to having actual sex with one of your family members.

Think of the CHILDREN you heartless, evil BASTARD! Rice could've crashed into a school bus loaded with toddlers and kerosene. Can you IMAGINE the CARNAGE?

Not only should Rice never play football again, he should be SUMMARILY EXECUTED!!

You forgot the part about "never in my life have I ever put anyone else in danger and I've never done anything stupid in my life, even as a teenager. I'm so awesome and such a great person that I want to make sure everyone knows it"

You can never predict how a court will judge someone.

A few years ago my cousin was driving eastbound on I-70 in western KC heading to work. Along came a driver going over 100 mph weaving through traffic. The weaving, speeding driver caused my cousin to swerve to avoid being hit and he ended up rolling his van, ejecting him where he died at the scene. The law later learned that speeding driver got on the I-70 turnpike at Topeka and averaged over 100 mph until he caused the accident.

The judge convicted the driver of manslaughter but only gave the SOB 250 hours of community service which he's never come close to doing.

I don't know what penalty Rice will get in the court of law but he'll almost certainly get 2+ game suspension from the NFL.
