So let me get this straight -

He hit and killed a man.

Left him on the side of the road.

Drove off.

Lied to law enforcement.

Is the serving Attorney General for all of South Dakota.

Is only getting a TRAFFIC TICKET for killing a man.

And doesn't even have to show up in court to get the traffic ticket?

WTH.

[b]Ravnsborg will not need to be present during Thursday’s court hearing to submit the plea deal. Additionally, the gag order will be lifted following the deal.[/b][/quote]
I hope the deceased sues this man and the State of South Dakota into oblivion. This man cannot prosecute the law when he is incapable of following the law or even being a decent human. [/quote]

The widow is suing him in civil court but that's nothing. How is this even legal?[/quote]

They're even dropping the careless driving charge!  I can't fathom that a hit and run is prosecuted as a misdemeanor.

Jason R. Ravnsborg, the South Dakota attorney general who struck and killed a man while driving home from a Republican Party dinner last year, will plead no contest on Thursday to two misdemeanor charges he faces in connection with the case, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

The plea deal will allow Mr. Ravnsborg to avoid a trial that had been scheduled for Thursday, and the third charge against him will be dropped, said the lawyer, Tim Rensch.

The state’s attorney, Michael Moore of Beadle County, confirmed on Wednesday that Mr. Ravnsborg would enter a plea but said he could not give further details because of a gag order imposed by a judge in February.

Mr. Ravnsborg, a Republican, was charged with careless driving, using a mobile electronic device and failing to stay in his lane on the night of the crash that killed Joseph Boever, a 55-year-old pedestrian, on Sept. 12. Each of those charges, which are all misdemeanors, carries a penalty of up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Mr. Rensch said that the careless driving charge would be dropped.

The case has cast a long shadow over state politics in South Dakota. Officials from both sides of the aisle, including Kristi Noem, the Republican governor, have called on Mr. Ravnsborg to resign.

A spokesman said on Wednesday that Mr. Ravnsborg did not intend to resign.[/quote]
