I hope that all NFL teams and really pro sports franchises period are now taking the time in the aftermath of this tragedy to reinforce a just don't do it message. To point to the other options they should turn to before ever getting by the wheel in that condition.

I could be wrong but I think if you use these service it counts as one of your 3 strikes before you have to go to counseling.

It does not count as a 3 strike violation. In fact it is confidential.

Wow. What an idiot. I can't possibly root for this dope. Can we send him where we sent OBJ ?

Yep, easy to say at age 50+, but going out to bars and drinking all night then driving home was the norm back in the 80's

Wasn’t the thing it is today. Today is better and smarter and kids are better aware and more prepared, generally speaking.

If it IS a Rav4, could it be possible that the rear impact, along with the intense heat of the fire, affected the shape of the rear of the car? In the photos of the car, it looks like the opening for the rear window is a lot lower than it should be, which could mean that the car and body are misshapen and that the rear portion has tilted downward, which would make it look more like a Prius.

Assuming this was a rear-end collision, which is what would have ignited the gas tank at that force and speed, it being a Rav4 make sense. Given the height difference between the vehicles, the Vette likely slammed into the bottom half of the rear-end, bending the top half downward. The doors and wheel wells look too large for a Prius. It also appears to have what was left of roof rails.

My roommate of many years died from a drunk driver. The guy got 4 years and probably served 2. They don't get hit as hard as they should.

Ridiculous position to take for the legal team. Once it burst into flames, they had virtually no time at all to save anybody inside.

The beginnings of a plea deal?

Plea deal?? The car was completely engulfed when they arrived. She was killed by the sole actions of a drunk guy. That statement is stupid and irrelevant to his guilt.

Sounds to me like they're grasping at straws. They might get a plea deal eventually, but I can't see it having anything to do with the firefighter chronology.

Pretty sure he'll do jail time. Only question is how much jail time. Unfortunately, there are probably tons of even worse offenders who need to be locked away.

Oh they're grasping at straws. But there seems to be some misunderstanding about a plea deal. You can still be jailed, as he surely will be. But I read somewhere that with the charges brought that can be for from 2 to 50 years. The straws might keep it down enough for him to see his kid graduate from middle school.

No, I perfectly understand plea deals, how they work and the sorts of things that can impact them. Just saying that, in this case, any plea deal that eventually gets worked out is unlikely to be impacted in any way by the firefighting. The case is so solid that any plea deal will be driven more by Rugg's history of behavior (if that helps), the presence of his daughter, the overcrowding in prison, or the business of the court schedule, or something pragmatic like that.

Lots of stuff can impact a plea deal to reduce the sentence and avoid a trial. The firefighter "straw" ain't likely to be one of them.

If I were deciding, that looks like an evasion of responsibility and would hurt his case for a plea deal and I’d hammer him for it.
