You can never predict how a court will judge someone.
A few years ago my cousin was driving eastbound on I-70 in western KC heading to work. Along came a driver going over 100 mph weaving through traffic. The weaving, speeding driver caused my cousin to swerve to avoid being hit and he ended up rolling his van, ejecting him where he died at the scene. 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.
