So was he sentenced or just plead guilty with an agreed upon sentencing range?

Not near enough prison time.
A case can be made that he should have life with no option for parole.

He'll do at least 6

Should have been 30 years minimum.

No, not without intent

Driving 150 mph on a residential road is intent.

What he did was horrible and indefensible, no doubt, but the applicable statute and sentencing guidelines would never allow life without parole for DUI resulting in death.

I hope Henry Ruggs does something positive with his life after all of this. He will never be able to make up for what he did, but I hope he finds a way to do some good in the future.

Normal people never would get this deal.
Plus football coaches writing letters on his behalf.

Posted on 8/9/23 at 12:27 pm to Roll Tide Ravens
People actually thought he was going to get 30+ years

I don't agree with the guy saying going 150mph means there was intent but...Going 156mph while drunk is enough to reasonably assume that something really bad could happen and you're endangering the lives of others. He made the decision to do both together knowing or should know that reasonable assumption.
So when something bad did happen, I'm not saying everyone has to agree, but I think there is a clear logical argument to be made that this person does not deserve to ever walk free again considering he killed someone with the decisions he made.
I'd apply similar logic to if you knowingly run a red light just because you didn't want to sit and wait 2 minutes and you cause an accident.
If your intent is to be reckless, you should pay severe consequences when your recklessness causes someone to die. I would argue 3-10 years isn't severe enough. I get the response of losing a decade of his life, losing millions, all fair points. The simple counter is a person died due to his intentional recklessness, that trumps money and a few years IMO

I did a vehicular homicide plea/sentencing for 5 years a few years ago, with the judge who is the harshest on DWIs, at that.
*ETA: and he was a baw, certainly not a pro athlete

"intent" is getting muddied here. His intent was to drive drunk. the consequence was killing someone.
but he did not get behind the wheel with a clear mind thinking "i want to kill someone." by law, it was an accident.
