I don't care about the NFL or the Raiders or Ruggs but that's about the only thing that will ever help the survivors. Ruggs should still receive some punishment though because what he did was incredibly reckless regardless of intention but people kid themselves when they say prison time helps anyone (it doesn't even help the families of victims who feel the same grief regardless). Prison time is simply a price to be paid for a wrong nothing more or less. (In the case of dangerous offenders like career criminals and violent offenders it can be more but this is more a one-off situation that could happen to anyone who makes a bad choice, drinks too much, and owns a fast enough car). Taking away a year of his life and forcing a sizable restitution should be enough to set someone like Ruggs on the right path (although I understand NV requires more time than that). The goal in a case like this where there was never any intent to do harm should be to give as much restitution to survivors as possible and prevent Ruggs from making similar choices in the future.
