Overview

  • Rice entered guilty pleas to two third-degree felony counts for racing on a highway and causing serious bodily injury in the March 2024 crash.
  • The Dallas judge’s sentence allows him to serve 30 days behind bars at any point during his five-year probation term.
  • He has paid roughly $115,000 in medical restitution but is alleged to owe more than $1 million under a civil settlement agreement.
  • Victims have filed at least three lawsuits over the chain-reaction collision, and one attorney says Rice has missed scheduled settlement payments.
  • The NFL is reviewing his case under its personal conduct policy, with a multi-game suspension expected for the upcoming season.
