He should get a minimum of 10 years in prison, IMO. Anyone who drinks and drives and kills someone doesn’t deserve a light sentence. His age and the fact he is a professional football player should have nothing to do with the case.

yeah he needs serious punishment and its so horrible she and her dog were burned alive. Such foolishness, arrogance and selfishness of him to feel it's funny to drive drunk. It's not an excuse, but unfortunately it's not unusual for ppl his age to feel way. When young in early 20s or teens and then millions and a star player. PPl unfortunately can feel invincible and they can take risks that won't hur themselves or others. He's gonna pay for this for the rest of his life. I thought the nfl had orientations and all of that for rookies and young players to avoid pitfalls from former players or older veterans. I know a lot of that stuff was financial related, but I thought it covered many things. If so, he didn't listenI have no doubt that Ruggs didn't set out to kill someone. He made a series of bad decisions that culminated in a horrific, tragic outcome. I believe in redemption. I believe that he could, someday, potentially use this experience to help stop others from making the same mistake. But there's little doubt the facts of this case cry out for a stiff punishment. It appears a young woman and her dog were burned alive, and social media posts that have resurfaced indicate Ruggs has previously joked about driving drunk.
The thing I don't get is that this young man had a close friend who died from a drunk driving accident and then this happened? What is Ruggs thinking?I have no doubt that Ruggs didn't set out to kill someone. He made a series of bad decisions that culminated in a horrific, tragic outcome. I believe in redemption.

I'll bet some charges get thrown out, like they normally would if the defendant pleads guilty. But, Nevada doesn't **** around with drunk driving charges. Come to Sin City and have a good time, but don't drink and drive there. My guess is he pleads guilty and gets the 2 years minimum.Two more additional felony charges and a misdemeanor charge filed against Ruggs. I believe orginal charges were DUI manslaugher and reckless driving. An additional DUI charge and an additional reckless driving charge being filed due to injuries of the passenger in his car. A misdemeanor firearm charged tacked on for having a loaded handgun in his car while under the influence.
