The South Dakota Supreme Court has issued a ruling ordering a six-month suspension of the law license of former state Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg. This decision comes in light of actions taken by Ravnsborg following a fatal accident involving a pedestrian that ultimately led to his political downfall.
The Supreme Court ruling, issued on Wednesday, cited violations of the 'Rules of Professional Conduct' by Ravnsborg. The court expressed concerns about Ravnsborg's dishonesty regarding his phone usage and highlighted forensic evidence that raised doubts about the integrity of his statements related to the accident.
