As part of the deal, attorneys recommend the Judge impose the sentence of up to a decade in prison with the possibility of parole after 3 years.
“Mr. Ruggs has [pleaded] guilty and has accepted responsibility for his conduct and there is nothing in Mr. Ruggs’ background that could have predicted this tragic event,” Ruggs’ attorneys wrote in court documents.
