In any event, I guess we know why he waited four days.

No under the influence charges here.

 

[TREFF]

the whole thing just sucks though ya know? Christ I remember my early 20's..thank God I didn't get caught, and thank God even more, that I didn't kill anyone, multiple times. But you know what? the repair bills didn't stop me form doing it again, and again, neither did a little fine here, or there, nor the restitution for the sign I ran over..nope.


What stopped me from being a fucking idiot was a judge finally putting me in my place, and the weekend in jail he gifted me.

I pray someone in the Justice system of Texas and/or Goodell does the right thing by this young man

been there, did that too

Hey, he deserves it just for being such an idiot.

You have to wonder about leaving the scene, after all the cars were in his name (leased or owned) so what was he thinking? Have to figure he had something to hide. Which is why they have laws about leaving the scene.

Have you looked up the laws for reckless endangerment? So many pieces to the puzzle defining what it is, it makes my head spin.

Those injuries and whether or not the injured have the option to not press charges (after catching a TD from Rice's bank account) is what I think all of this comes down to.

If the fact that there are injuries dials it up to a felony automatically, chiefs are taking a WR or 2 in the draft, probably should regardless

Could be if he (they) stayed, breathalyzer and other tests would come into play. Just speculating here.

This would be way worse if he stayed.

That's actually not TX laws, I'm a cannabis user that travels regularly. 4 ounces or less is a misdemeanor

Your local news affiliate both didn't know its own state law and is too stupid to Google it. Must be tough getting their shoes tied but they probably wear velcros

The cannabis or even the accident probably won't garner a harsh sentence. However leaving the scene of the accident could be a different matter, as the video of them leaving their vehicles and reporting days later is in the public eye and I would think the legal system would want to convey THIS IS NOT OK. I'm sure Rice has some big money law team representing him so who knows though.

His lawyer is Texas state senator Royce West. I'd imagine he's got some clout behind him.

If the Chiefs move to Texas they'll clear him of all charges.

That was a different time man. They can't do that now because it might hurt somebody's feelings.

Lack of a firearm in TX is a felony?

Send him to jail !!!!

 

[broncosmitty]

Aaaaannd now they found weed in the car, over 10 grams which is not really that much for the group of people they had but way more than the lovely state of TX wants to see on anyone.

The layers keep getting peeled back here, still just a ton of smoke that some fines for Rice and maybe a friend taking a fall for him can't brush under the rug

10 grams is a felony in TX. (That’s a lite half oz)

It’s his car, which makes it his weed.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Don't worry guys. He is taking full responsibility for his actions!

 

[TREFF]

Don't worry guys. He is taking full responsibility for his actions!

Yea.. his attorney said that, to the public, before the public knew there was a potential for a felony.

I'd be talking about taking full accountability and gladly paying everyone's damages and medical bills too, if I felt doing so would make a DA forget about that felony charge

 

[Clayton]

My base expectation is that Rice will get legally slapped on the wrist but suspended 2-4 games. I also think this is the type of thing that will make him a Dolphin or Brown in a couple of years.
