SD AG kills someone and gets fined for it; it must be nice to be politically connected.

Of course, if he was a Pearce, he wouldn't even have gotten that much.

From The Hill -

South Dakota attorney general fined in pedestrian's death


South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) on Thursday was fined for a car crash last year that led to the death of a man.

A South Dakota judge fined the attorney general $500 for each of the two misdemeanor charges he pleaded guilty to and ordered him to pay court costs, according to The Associated Press.

Sean Pearce, son of the infamous Russell Pearce and a senior deputy of then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a Russell Pearce political ally, took a defensive driving class, was fined $714, and suspended for a week after killing someone with his county-issued vehicle.  Details here.
