Rashee Rice or Justyn Ross?

[remedy29]

If Texas police pursues this, and they absolutely should, then Rice will be facing a third-degree felony charge. I don't think the NFL will allow him to play while he is facing charges.

Why not? They let players play all the time until the case resolves.

Looks like both vehicles were in Rice’s name. He owned the Corvette and was the name on the rental agreement for the Lamborghini SUV.

For felony charges? I thought that was for civil, money grab, charges, not felony charges.

I think the felony takes you off the field

Doesn't this make it appear that rather than an impulsive urge to race his car, he may have planned to find out how his Corvette would fare against the Lamborghini? Let's rent one and find out...

He's lucky his career didn't end this past weekend. And that nobody's family had to endure the pain of losing a loved one.

- That in Texas when causing a multiple car accident by racing, it is legal to abandon your car at the scene, empty it of whatever goods you choose, fail to check on other individuals involved in other vehicles and instead walk away from the scene.

Can't get charged for a DUI if they can't find you to test for one...

Knew a guy in college who basically did this (though he just crashed his own car, not everyone else on the highway). Still thought he was a moron, but couldn't help but think it was a smart move at the time to avoid a DUI

They really should throw a lot of time at him

But they probably wont

You could face the following penalties after leaving an accident scene:

A second-degree felony. Per Texas Penal Code § 12.33, a second-degree felony can result in two to 20 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. Second-degree felonies apply to drivers who fled accidents that resulted in fatalities.

A third-degree felony. Per Texas Penal Code § 12.34, a third-degree felony can range from two to 10 years in jail and a fine of $10,000. Third-degree felonies apply to drivers who left accidents that resulted in serious bodily injuries.

Misdemeanor charges. Per Texas Transportation Code § 550.022, if an accident only involved property damage, the negligent party could face a Class B or Class C misdemeanor charge. The severity of the offense depends on the severity of the cars’ damage.

idk how it pertains to Rashee and we weren't in Texas. I knew the guy I was referring to got off without anything, when his alternative was a DUI. I wasn't trying to say Rashee would get off scot free

A little more of Texas statutes:

SUBCHAPTER B. DUTIES FOLLOWING COLLISION

Sec. 550.021. COLLISION INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. (a) The operator of a vehicle involved in a collision that results or is reasonably likely to result in injury to or death of a person shall:

(2) immediately return to the scene of the collision if the vehicle is not stopped at the scene of the collision;
(3) immediately determine whether a person is involved in the collision, and if a person is involved in the collision, whether that person requires aid; and
(4) remain at the scene of the collision until the operator complies with the requirements of Section 550.023.
(b) An operator of a vehicle required to stop the vehicle by Subsection (a) shall do so without obstructing traffic more than is necessary.
(c) A person commits an offense if the person does not stop or does not comply with the requirements of this section. An offense under this section:
(1) involving a collision resulting in:
(A) death of a person is a felony of the second degree; or
(B) serious bodily injury, as defined by Section 1.07, Penal Code, to a person is a felony of the third degree; and
(2) involving a collision resulting in injury to which Subdivision (1) does not apply is punishable by:
(A) 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;
(B) a fine not to exceed $5,000; or
(C) both the fine and the imprisonment or confinement.

Sec. 550.023. DUTY TO GIVE INFORMATION AND RENDER AID. The operator of a vehicle involved in a collision resulting in the injury or death of a person or damage to a vehicle that is driven or attended by a person shall:
(1) give the operator's name and address, the registration number of the vehicle the operator was driving, and the name of the operator's motor vehicle liability insurer to any person injured or the operator or occupant of or person attending a vehicle involved in the collision;
(2) if requested and available, show the operator's driver's license to a person described by Subdivision (1); and
(3) provide any person injured in the collision reasonable assistance, including transporting or making arrangements for transporting the person to a physician or hospital for medical treatment if it is apparent that treatment is necessary, or if the injured person requests the transportation.

Nope, I didn’t interpret you as saying so. I was just posting Texas law on the circumstances involved. The statute is most probably written as a deterrent/punishment for what you described earlier.

What would contenders trade away Rice for, whether players and/or picks?

[SoftwoodGrampian]

Just traded him for 1.5 and a ‘25 2nd in single QB TEP

[FantasyFreak]

Rice has apperrently admitted guilt.

From this, it's pretty easy to see that he and his "crew" used his car, and the Lambo he leased, to race on public roads. Absolute POS.
