Henry Ruggs, wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders, received his prison sentence on Wednesday, which has drawn the attention of O.J. Simpson, who expressed his discontent with the decision.
Ruggs pleaded guilty to driving under the influence at a speed of 156 mph on November 2, 2021, resulting in a fatal crash that claimed the life of Tina Tintor, a 23-year-old woman, and her dog.
The judge sentenced Ruggs to three-to-10 years in prison.
Simpson compared Ruggs’ sentence to his own case, where he received nine-to-33 years in prison for an incident involving stolen sports memorabilia from a hotel room.
“You’re driving a car roughly 160 MPH on a public street and you kill a girl and her dog and you get three-to-10 years. (Meanwhile) you go to a hotel room where you’re invited to retrieve your own personal stolen property and you get nine-to-33 years,” Simpson said
