Minnehaha County prosecutor not part of Ravnsborg probe
January 23, 2021 GMT
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) The new Minnehaha County state attorney says his office will no longer be assisting the investigation into a fatal crash involving South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg.
In a statement to the Argus Leader, Minnehaha County State’s Attorney Daniel Haggar said his office has not been involved in the case since his term started earlier this month and he is focused on cases in the county.
Haggar’s predecessor, Crystal Johnson, had been assisting Hyde County prosecutors in evaluating evidence and determining whether charges should be brought against Ravnsborg, who struck and killed Jason Boever on Sept. 12 while Boever was walking along the shoulder of Highway 14 west of Highmore.
South Dakota public safety officials have released the 911 call placed by state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg after he allegedly fatally struck a local resident.
The fate of South Dakota’s attorney general who allegedly fatally struck a man with his car while driving – and said he believed he had hit something else, such as a deer – could lie in debris from the scene, which could determine where in the road the top lawyer’s vehicle was at the time of the crash, officials said.
It’s been more than three months since 55-year-old Joseph Boever, a Hyde County, S.D., resident, was killed while walking along U.S. Highway 14 near Highmore at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 12. The Department of Public Safety has said it has handed over all of its findings to prosecutors, led by Hyde County deputy state s attorney Emily Sovell.
10 Ways Russia Is Using Social Media To Tear Americans Apart
There might be a reason why politics has been so crazy lately. Over the past two years, we’ve seen conservatives and liberals stretch their beliefs into some completely insane territories. We’ve seen the rise of neo-Nazis and anti-fascists, and we’ve seen them get violent.
As it turns out, all of this might just be on purpose. Recent reports are saying that a lot of the extreme social media accounts that have been pushing these agendas weren’t created by Americans at all. Thousands of them were created in Russia as part of a propaganda war to tear the United States apart.
