I don’t know what’s going to happen with this in SD- that’s what concerns me. In most states & with certain positions- such as certified teachers, law enforcement officers, attorneys, public officials, etc.- he would be held to a higher standard of ethics and behavior in response to an accident like this. So far no one official has confirmed or denied that 911 call. If he made it, the recording should be released as result of a transparent investigation. Yes, I believe it makes a difference if he called 911, or the sheriff on his personal cell or home phone. It will also be key where Boever was walking- on road, on road shoulder, on grass. Ravnsborg’s documented history of speeding, and the fact that he never had his license suspended, concerns me. If I were part of Boever’s family, I’d be getting my own lawyer asap to determine who & when a whole slew of questions should be posed & answered. Imo.
So far, most crash experts think Ravnsborg’s in very hot water (links upthread). The people who think “he did everything right” (in your link) are personally & professionally affiliated with him in some way. At the very least, if Ravnsborg walks with no consequences at the end of this investigation, I hope the public will “fire him” with their votes in the next election. He clearly doesn’t follow traffic law, a man is now dead, and someone with a higher standard of leadership should hold the honorable office of AG, imo.
