Killer South Dakota Attorney General Ousted and Banned From Office
Jason Ravnsborg, the South Dakota attorney general who ran over and killed a man on a highway in 2020, was convicted in an impeachment trial by state lawmakers on Tuesday, effectively ending his career.
The South Dakota Senate voted 24-9 to affirm count one against Ravnsborg, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to convict him and remove him from office. He was also convicted on the second count, 31-2, and two 33-0 votes barred him from ever holding office again.
Two of the 35 senators, one Democrat and one Republican, did not attend the trial. Republicans hold a 32-3 majority in the state Senate.
Instead of offering major revelations at the trial, prosecutors slammed Ravnsborg as a liar who fibbed about what happened on the night of the fatal crash—and again in the following months.
“We’ve heard better lies from 5-year-olds,” said prosecutor Mark Vargo.
