Also, I think we may have briefly mentioned this story when it came up but there's been (even more crazy) developments: https://www.npr.org/2021/02/24/971098526/south-dakota-ag-faces-impeachment-calls-to-resign-over-new-evidence-in-fatal-cra

So, back in September, the South Dakota AG hit and killed a man while driving. He claimed he thought he hit a deer and didn't know it was a man until the next day when he returned to the scene after the cops said they didn't find any deer at the site.

Well, a week ago it came back that he was being charged with three misdemeanors that each have a maximum penalty of 30 days jail and a $500 fine. Because apparently in South Dakota vehicular homicide can only be charged if you were intoxicated (and he wasn't tested for BAC until 15 hours after the incident)

Well, then came out videos from the investigation and interrogation and it's... uh... well, probably pretty unsurprising, but awful nonetheless.

The investigators point out he was driving on the shoulder when he claimed to be in the middle of the road, that the victim had a bright flashlight that witnesses had seen him walking with earlier and questioning him over his denial that he saw it. But most damningly:

NPR reports:

At one point, investigators said that a pair of broken glasses was found inside the attorney general's car and that the glasses could have gotten there only by Boever's face entering through the windshield.

There is a resolution in the state house for impeachment and the governor is calling for his resignation but his office issued a statement on Tuesday saying he had no intention to resign.
