Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Idk. I think a DUI resulting in a fatality is automatically called felony death by motor vehicle.

Thanks.

Not sure of all the verbage myself so i didnt know. Hope to never have to know much about that one particularly. What a tragedy.

 

[drvenner]

I know. Snitker was definitely correct to have Ender at Leadoff and not Acuna.

I am going to let it go. I do hope the Braves win. Hit me up when you get your first managing gig. I will give you some very sound advice.

I think all the NFL teams woupd happily arrange for cars or drivers for the night if it meant no drinking and driving.

How selfish.

It’s so simple. Just call an Uber. From the start. That way you don’t even have keys to make a dumb decision with.

Yeah, he's looking at several years in prison. . . I knew a guy charged with felony death by motor vehicle, ended up with 15years. . . really, should've been much more, imo. Out having a good time and decide to drive drunk and this happens. Changes a lot of lives instantly and could be avoided so easily. What's an uber cost these days and how hard is it to get one? If I go out to drink, I have an uber pick me up. Cost me $100 for 2 riders for the whole night and several different bars.

One of my buddies good friends is serving twenty years in prison for drunk driving and killing a child. He deserves every second in prison. If Riggs killed someone, I hope he gets a lot of prison time.

lf I ever did have a management gig, I can promise you that I would never bat Ender inciarte at leadoff

*shrug* I live in southern Indiana, in the Louisville, KY metro area

My mom lived in Evansville, so I always crossed over the river in Owensboro.

 

[Orange Studs]

Man, this **** is crazy.

That's how you throw away a golden opportunity of a career that only a few get a chance at. Just a dumb choice thought it would never happen to him. Prayers for the victim's family.

I tagged AT and others in a tweet where Kensucky players said they were angry and felt bad for their next opponent and that’s obviously what AT was referencing here so you can thank me for the team being motivated this week.

You’re welcome

Oh how cool you are tweeting college kids!

 

[Orange Studs]

Let’s go!!!! Vols win by 25+ this week!

Going to be so awesome to see Simmons back out. Our DL needs all the bodies we can get.

 

[99Vol]

the vehicular manslaughter charge is coming soon on this one right?

I believe it’s technically @InVOLuntary manslaughter…
I’m all seriousness, He’s 22, prolly 5-8 year sentence and out in a few on good behavior. This is a really tricky one IMO, happens to a lot of good people that make a bad decision, one that many people make and fortunately it turns out ok until it doesn’t…

 

[Leeleesteeth]

This is a family site sir.

There are plenty of a__holes in my family.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Is there any significant news or just more of everyone's dumbassery?

 

[99Vol]

Siap
Tough ask for Dane last week, good to see this…

 

[99Vol]

The Minister…

 

[99Vol]

Maybe beating FU in tennis and soccer is contagious….

I think we can agree on that one, at least.

Ruggs should go to jail for a long time. Awful decision and someone's family had to die because of selfish, irresponsible behavior

 

[MadWorld]

nvm

I actually think I read years ago that they indeed do provide ride services to all players in the union, as a courtesy, just so this type of thing doesn't happen.

It is not involuntary manslaughter when paired with a DUI.

"The charge for DUI causing substantial bodily harm or death is a category “B” Felony, which is the second most severe level of Felony in Nevada law. In this instance, such a crime is punishable by imprisonment in Nevada State Prison system for a minimum term of 2 years and a maximum term 20 years. It also carries a fine of between $2,000.00 to $5,000.00. More importantly, DUI causing substantial bodily harm or death is a non-probationable offense, meaning if you are convicted, you must go to prison." ~Nevada

 

[volfaninpa]

The Minister…

That's a fun list. I'm sure there can be debate all around. One change I'd make would be that Herschel Walker should be Georgia's representative rather than Cam Newton.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Before the internet for sure. I’m 34 so I got a good dose of both, although a lot more limited internet in my teens than now. Social media has ruined a lot, I absolutely despise it.

Yeah really pre-social media would be a better question

 

[MoCo_Vol]

So no one going to question why Leonard Little didn't do jail time...guess since he's a VFL we have different standards?


I think it's awful and Ruggs' behavior is inexcusable. But he's also a high profile millionaire, I'll be absolutely shocked if he does any jail time. Cause sadly that's how messed up our justice system is.

Assuming Ruggs' defense will try to work out a plea for a lesser charge though.
