The law later learned that speeding driver got on the I-70 turnpike at Topeka and averaged over 100 mph until he caused the accident.
The judge convicted the driver of manslaughter but only gave the SOB 250 hours of community service which he's never come close to doing.
I don't know what penalty Rice will get in the court of law but he'll almost certainly get 2+ game suspension from the NFL.

You hear of convicted rapists getting no jail time all the time. Alot of the times it's the prosecutor agreeing to some type of plea deal.
