Suggs can get parole after 3 years

Looks like he will serve 3 years minimum. Only eligible for parole after 3 years.

For the horrific nature of the crime, the young lady didn't die of impact she died from the fire, this just doesn't seem right.
If the time he's been in jail already is counted, then he only has about 18ish months left.

Yes bystanders could hear her screaming in agony as she burned to death. The dog too…

Plea deals suck. He was facing the possibility of a total of 46 years. He got 3-10. SMH.

Former NFL player Henry Ruggs sentenced to at least 3 years in prison for fatal DUI crash​


Ruggs was driving 156 mph seconds before he slammed his Corvette into the back of a Toyota SUV in Las Vegas, according to police.

Ruggs refused a field sobriety test, according to police, but prosecutors said he had a blood alcohol level of 0.161% -- more than twice the legal limit in Nevada.

As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped several other charges, including felony reckless driving. The Clark County District Attorney's Office said it agreed to a plea deal because there was a "legitimate concern" that the court would have suppressed the result of the blood draw and prosecutors could have lost the felony DUI charge, the most serious charge Ruggs faced.

It’s so strange what gets allowed and what doesn’t in trials.
I know there are good reasons behind it but I say spill all the facts and let things fall where they do.
Btw, I’m not a lawyer, ha.
