Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is attacked for his lack of accountability about a year after his hit-and-run of several vehicles in Dallas.
The former SMU star is still waiting for eight criminal prosecution to a large jury of Dallas County who will decide whether the case will continue against him.
Without an indictment or no bill, rice and the victims, who pursue legal steps against him, are uncertain.
In the midst of the break, a lawyer insisted on the civil case that the status of Rice and the position of his council in the state policy had 'inappropriate influence' in the procedure.
Kyler Coker, who represents the company that one of the tamered cars in the accident, blamed the delay at the Dallas County District Attorney's office.
“If this was a different person than a football player who retained a senator of the state, this would have gone very differently,” Coker said. “I don't want everyone to forget, and I don't want to leave the man out.”
