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..

If that's the worst of it, Rice's suspension shouldn't be any worse than Kamara's considering he beat the fucking shit out of a guy. [Reply]
Good call on evacuating the other dumpster fire. Funny how some of the most sure of themselves posters were so terribly wrong on this legal outcome of this one, even while deriding others for armchair lawyering. That's why it is just best to keep the popcorn handy, and mostly observe while clown world does its thing.

You can get a ton of stitches around the eye just from a French bicycle collision. [Reply]
Overzealous prosecutor using the publicity of this case for self advancement. These assholes are all the same. Looks like this could be expensive and drawn out. [Reply]
