South Dakota AG Accused of Lying About Fatal Car Accident Last Year

Last September, South Dakota's Attorney General hit and run a man, killing him.

Or, rather: He claims it wasn't a hit and run because he didn't know the thing he hit was a human. He says he didn't know it was a man until he revisited the collision scene the next day.

Problem: Prosecutors say the dead man's eyeglasses were found in his car.

Pretty sure deer don't wear eyeglasses.

From the Washington Post:

southdakotaAG.jpg

He's a Republican so believe me, you'll be hearing a lot about this!

Who's Andrew Cuomo? I'm not familiar with the name.

Impeachment charges have been filed against him, and Governor Kristi Noem says he must resign:

Governor Kristi Noem
@govkristinoem

Now that the investigation has closed and charges have been filed, I believe the Attorney General should resign. I have reviewed the material we are releasing, starting today, and I encourage others to review it as well.

Did he run to take a Teddy Kennedy pause to clear the alcohol out of his system? He says he wasn't drunk, but... One wonders.

Here's the video of a police interrogation. I don't know when it's from, if it's from around the time of the incident or if it's from more recently.

It starts getting contentious at 1:10:00. They tell him the "face came through the window" at 1:11:00.

32 The glasses thing puzzles me as well. The only thing I can speculate is that he got out of his car to check the man, took his glasses and pocketed them while checking on the guy and forgot he had them.

41 So, his story is-- 'I hit something, thought it was a deer, and then kept going'?

Don't you at least get out and look, if only to inspect damage to your car?

Maybe I should read the report or something, but his excuse sounds brazenly bad.

And the glasses inside his car-- just the glasses, no other parts of the victim or his effects? Did the AG find the glasses, take them to dispose of them (to cover up), and then forget?

42 The North Dakota Dept of Public Safety did the investigation since the SD Dept is under the SD attorney general's office. SD wanted the investigation to be as thorough and unbiased as possible. This is from the ND investigation.

The ND guys did a pretty good job, but it still isn't clear what "distracted" Ravnsborg, since his cell phone records didn't show him on the phone at the time of the accident.

45 My two favorite games right now are Red Dead Redemption II (published by evil Rockstar Games who also publish GTA) and Hunter: Call of the Wild. In RDRII you shoot, beat, and kill people. In H:CotW you shoot deer, bear, boar etc. In RDRII, I have no qualms about.robbing and killing the guilty, the innocent, and the semi-innocent. In H:CotW, however, I feel a twinge of guilt shooting pixel deer etc., particularly the small, cute roe deer.

So I'd be like, "Thank God! There's eyeglasses in my car!"

A good friend of mine hit someone with his truck a couple of decades ago. It was not his fault; the pedestrian was drunk, wearing dark clothes, walking with traffic on a narrow road late at night. The police told him that it was entirely the pedestrian's fault, but it still bothered him for years.

Just reminds me of the story from years ago about the woman that was high on something and she hit a guy and drove home with him still in her windshield and he died in her garage.

Posted by: Buzzion at February 24, 2021 01:43 PM (Pyr3S)

87 There was an incident a ways back where some woman hit a man, drove all the way home with him, still alive moaning and pleading for help imbedded in her windshield, then parked the car and man who was bleeding out in her garage and got high. By the time she reported whatever happened the guy had died.

It was all racially charged because of the people involved but as it often does that just clouded the facts of a truly horrible person and someone else that didn't deserve to die.

I think of her every time I drive around my AO because there are many children and they don't exercise self preservation so well.

When I was a kid in first or second grade I walked between two parked cars right in the path of an oncoming car who hit the brakes hard. Scared the shit out of me enough that I still remember it 60+ years later.

91 Maybe if you're drunk or otherwise impaired (tired, in a hurry, meth, whatever), you don't get out, but that's not really a defense/plea that would let the authorities stop investigating at that point.

Always loved when Rush would call him The Swimmer. And in earlier years, Rush's website would feature a photo of him with a mask and snorkel. Cracked me up every time!

Anyone else remember that clip Rush used to play of The Swimmer speaking during some kind of rally in the mid 90s? Rush played it frequently. It was something like "After we all do what needs to be done, and you re-elect old Kennedy to the Senate, we're gonna start on the '96 campaign to elect Bill Clinton as our re-elect{unintelligible rambling}"

122 The Club 85 broad incident was especially outrageous because the guy who she hit didn't die right away, he was halfway through the windshield. Drove home and closed the garage door.

Windshield glass has elastic qualities. It does not shatter like the glass in your windows, but stars out, then snaps back into shape.

If a head went through the windshield glass, the glass would snap back and either cut said head off, or hold the body in place at the neck... but no way do you get the glasses into the passenger compartment WITHOUT a whole lot of blood evidence as well.

Whole thing sounds very fishy. Is the cops name Comey?

Yeah, this heads into "the coverup is worse than the crime" territory. Okay, sure, if you think you can get away scot free, I see that. But there's all kinds of evidence on the ground, on the car, it becomes a news story, and you'll always wonder if this is the day you'll be found out.

Unless you're, I don't know, trafficking illegal narcotics or have another dead body in the truck or something. Something worse you don't want to get out.

Chante Mallard allegedly told police she periodically went into the garage, apologizing to him but doing nothing to help.

Because someone is dead, and you caused that death (even if you may not be terribly culpable). I don't know how the law is elsewhere, but in Texas if you do that sober as a church mouse but you are on your cell phone at the time, you'll likely be charged and convicted. I can think of at least one high-profile case like that. I'm not saying you shouldn't call the cops. But you shouldn't assume there's going to be a happy outcome.

I think cops are given some leeway based on behavior and driving. Like: if you're acting heavily intoxicated and driving like a loon, they can still bust you even if you don't test drunk. Maybe you're on something else they cannot test (one of the main objections cops had to legalizing every drug in existence in Oregon).

Something smells like a ripe diaper here. Sure, it's possible that the guy's face punched a hole in the windshield, but extremely unlikely.

The only thing I can think of is if the guy was blackout drunk (we call it Thursday), hit the guy, got out, for some bizarre reason known only to God picked up the guy's glasses, threw them into the car, and promptly forgot everything.

He was almost definitely drunk. It's preferable to get a 'leaving the scene' type charge coupled with a 'vehicular manslaughter' (worst case scenario) then to get an aggravated DUI resulting in death in every state I know of.

So, you know, every incentive is for you to flee the scene, let the guy bleed out, go home, drink a few beers, and wait for the cops to show up ("I hit my head and had to have a few beers to take the edge off after I got home. I thought I hit a deer!"). Thanks MADD!

336 For those outside of the bay area, Fry's is a giant home depot sized electronics store. For years it was the go-to place to buy all of your needs from PC's to radios to software...

I will refer the right honorable member to the post on an earlier thread...

In any case: in a simpler era Fry's was the shit. Pocket protector heaven. Spent many, many hours there.

But later they kinda lost their way. Less hardcore tech, more Best Buy appliances and other crap. They never really found their footing in that model.

And with even Mouser and McMaster-Carr doing next-day shipping as a default there's really no room for a retail space given the breadth of the products they'd have to cover.

RIP Fry's, they had their time in the sun but it's gone.

driving outside of his lane.The

Deputy State's Attorney Emily Sovell said that a manslaughter charge
cannot be brought simply for poor driving, even if someone is killed.
South Dakota does not have a negligent homicide law, and thus it can't

348 Not content to chase Nicklaus' majors record anymore, Woods has now elected to replicate Ben Hogan's comeback.

Actually he was already pretty Hoganesque with the injuries he had before this, in part because he torqued his frame so badly early on with or without PEDs. Ben's wreck was much worse, of course, and sports medicine wasn't even a thing back them; plus he never regained full sight in one eye.

Tiger's Masters win two years ago was his last hurrah. Augusta is a course very suited to his game and he knew it like the back of his hand.

My office for years was on Park Blvd in Palo Alto, so the El Camino Fry's was literally 2/10 mile away. Back then Amazon hadn't even started selling books, and with all the animation cameras, film processor, PC's etc. we had, I was always in there for something.

But yeah, it started turning into an "emergency only" place for me anyway. Usually for some sort of cable or similar. Probably 10 years easy since I set foot in one of their stores, but I know a lot of people that still did.

Forgot to mention, Fry's themed their stores as well, one in Santa Clara was all an Egyptian theme. The place had like 30 registers. I think they've probably been on the edge of solvency for a while now. Still, a shame. Wonder what they're going to do with all those giant stores? Each one sits on prime real estate, that's for sure.

The thing about Fry's - at least the one near me - is that it was entertainment as well as shopping. It was fun just to visit. And the chances you couldn't find what you were looking for there were nil. They had everything, including things you'd never even heard of or seen.

My guess: carrying all that inventory ate up cash, and precipitated their closing.

The thing about Fry's - at least the one near me - is that it was entertainment as well as shopping. It was fun just to visit. And the chances you couldn't find what you were looking for there were nil. They had everything, including things you'd never even heard of or seen.

My guess: carrying all that inventory ate up cash, and precipitated their closing.

It worked for them for years. Presumably their working capital needs didn't change too much. My figuring is that declining sales was the real issue.

403 Last summer I almost hit an elk calf while driving over Rabbit Ears pass. Thankfully nobody was behind me, because I had to smoke the tires to stop in time. Little guy bounced a little jig when it saw my truck, but then bounded off to its worried mama.

I agree, and what's more if we survive this and the world doesn't burn, I suspect that in a generation or so there will be this big brick and mortar revival of stores where its cool to go in and shop instead of just online, promoting exactly the things you listed and others.

407 Not to excuse Ravnsborg in any way, but I do wonder why the other dude was out there that late. The guy who was killed had gone off that same stretch of road in his own vehicle and struck a big round haybale in the ditch, and was apparently walking back from the town to his damaged/disabled pickup when he was hit.

I remember an era, end of the '60s early '70s, when shopping the malls was a Friday night social experience. We may not get there again, no retailer can afford to put four different recliners on the floor for ten-year-olds to test.

410 I ran over something on the freeway once and it scared me half to death.

I once ran over something in the dead of night on the highway in rural Nevada, bursting not one, but TWO tires.

Turned out that a winch used to cinch down a load had fallen off of a flatbed truck. The winch was about six inches in diameter and black, so on a black unlit road in the dead of night, it was impossible to see. Two tires later, the next morning, I was back on the road.

411 I wouldn't be surprised if Tiger was on PEDs until the PGA started testing for them. He was buffed out like Sammy Sosa for awhile there. Seemed like he started getting injured more and didn't recover as fast at some point. I doubt any sport was clean until they started testing.

I hit a yeti once with a snowcat. Chunks of fur and flesh froze solid all over the front of that thing. Had to come down several thousand feet and wait for spring to get it cleaned off. The fangs made a nice necklace though.

Yes! Three to four employees standing around talking to each other and completely ignoring the person who wants info on a printer. An employee who isn't sure what a Kindle Paperwhite is. It's sad, but WuFlu isn't the primary reason they're going under.

421 How many unarmed blacks are killed by police each year?

3/4 of liberals think it's more than 100.

1/3 think more than 1,000.

1/6 think more than 10,000.

Actual number (in 2019) was 13.

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at February 24, 2021 02:53 PM (VVEnO)

422 Blacks are what percentage of people killed by police?

Liberals think at least 56%.

Actual number 25%.

427 >>>I mean, this isn't some minor traffic violation. Regardless who is running the investigation, an unreported accident where someone died is a big deal. No matter who you are.

Actually, yeah it is. Ravnsburg is facing three misdemeanor charges. At most he'll serve 90 days in the county jail. And that's only if the sentences run consecutively.

428 I know this is way willowed, but this isn't beyond the realm of possibility. It doesn't make it any less heinous, though.

My uncle was killed while jogging many years ago, by a woman who turned around to speak to/yell at her kids in the back seat of the station wagon. Her car actually chased him down into the ditch he jumped into. She shattered her windshield.

THEN she drove all the way home and parked the car in the garage. She took the kids out of the car and went inside. I think it was one of the kids that called the police.

My uncle didn't have a chance. But something snapped in the woman's mind and she just went straight into denial. She confessed when the police confronted her with the broken windshield and the blood all over the hood and bumper. I think she got a hit and run but not the negligent manslaughter she should have.


It happens. Sure as shootin' shouldn't make any difference in consequences, though.
