South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg received a speeding ticket in a separate incident four days before his scheduled trial earlier this month over the death of a pedestrian he had hit with his car.
No parent in South Dakota can ever lecture a new teen driver again about the need to follow “rules of the road.” (Fortunately, I’m past those years with my sons.)
That’ll teach him.
Fun Fact: If you re-arrange the letters in “Republican,” you get “one who never learns”
At least he made it from A to B without killing anyone. Progress I guess.
But instead of a trial, Ravnsborg’s attorney announced on Thursday that his client, who did not appear at the hearing in person, had reached a deal with the prosecutors and would be pleading no contest to using an electronic device while driving and illegally changing lanes. The attorney general was charged $500 for each misdemeanor plus court fees.
No hit and run, careless/reckless driving, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter or etc. Just charged with using a phone and illegally changing lanes. And a man is dead.

Who else thought he was out having 
fun, fun, fun, til the judge takes his license away ?
Fuck this guy.
How does a hit and run homicide driver still have their license at all?
Well he’s a Republican and there are special rules for them.
Oh, my dear sir! Surely you aren’t suggesting that an affluent white official in a deep red state should incur consequences for unlawful conduct commensurate with the offense! Don’t you understand? He’s a Republican!
He wouldn’t have been speeding but it was dark and he was busy catching up on the latest Biden conspiracies on his cellphone.
Is Dewar’s an electronic device now?
I was recently stopped in a neighboring state (MA) for 53 in a 35 mph. The pleasant young woman officer asked if I’d had any other stops. I admitted to a stop several years before (in NH, so could she have found that? Don’t know.) I had the sense it was a test of my honesty. I’m pretty sure if I had a string of annual speeding stops stretching back seven years, she probably wouldn’t have let me off with a written warning. Course, I try not to be an entitled asshole when the blues are flashing in my mirrors.
That’s what I’d want. Negligent homicide, texting while driving, leaving the scene making false statements…1500 in fines and off I go.
But it damn sure is not what I’d get. There was a time shit so in your face foul wasn’t something we did out in the open in the USA.
Rigged legal system. My question is how he has insurance.
Yabut, the big danger with him is apparently on the way back…
It’s only a danger to everyone else.
Yeah right. I wouldn’t count on it. This guy is a serial offender.
They’re peeling off.
