An attorney for South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg has entered no-contest pleas on his behalf to two misdemeanors in connection with a crash last year that left a 55-year-old pedestrian dead.
Last September, on the night of the crash, Ravnsborg told a 911 dispatcher,"I hit something" that was in the middle of the road. He initially told police he had hit a deer but discovered Joseph Boever's body the following morning after returning to the scene of the collision.Investigators said they found Boever's broken glasses in Ravnsborg's car and that the victim's face had come through the attorney general's windshield.
"We feel that at no point has the defendant shown any remorse and has instead demonstrated callousness with respect to the life he took and the victim's family and friends. He has demonstrated arrogance towards the law he, as an attorney general, is supposed to uphold," she said. She said Ravnsborg's"cowardly behavior leaves us frustrated and makes moving on even more difficult.
