The other thread is a dumpster fire. I'm sure this will become one as well, but might as well start with a clean slate. I'll at least try to keep the OP updated with any notable news. Feel free to PM me if I miss anything good.
Arrest warrant and potential charges:
Spoiler!
BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in connection to his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas in late March, sources tell WFAA. https://t.co/XL3F7oCuW1

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine fine not to exceed $5,000 or both. Collision involving serious bodily injury -- a third-degree felony -- carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault -- a second-degree felony -- is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
TL;DR, his concern was at a 2, and now it's a 4 (out of 10). Still probably not a huge deal, but there are some concerning possibilities. Overall, though, he thinks it all gets pled down to misdemeanors, he misses a couple of games, and he writes some massive checks to those he injured.

#Chiefs Patrick Mahomes said he's worked with Rashee Rice throughout the offseason and will continue to do so while the legal process plays out for Rice..

Give the dude a break.
When’s it stop? Should the action be punished and not the result? Regardless of how it played out, it happened that’s where the punishment should lie. [Reply]

The result is ALWAYS what's punished. Every single time.
Shoot a guy 9 times and if he survives you take an attempted murder rap. Punch a guy in anger and if he trips over his feet and hits his head and dies, you're gonna get tagged with involuntary manslaughter.
It's always the result that's punished. The actions can aggravate/mitigate, but ultimately the law looks at the result first. [Reply]

According to documents released by police, via the Baltimore Banner, the investigation could be reopened if more information comes to light in the future. Identifying information is not included in the report, but it appears Flowers declined to speak to police before the February 16 suspension.
Okay, so it is just past 8:00 PM. I assume he has until 11:59:59 PM to turn himself in today, but I would have thought the better "look" would have been to show up just past 8:00 AM this morning. [Reply]
