The latest news to come out from Henry Ruggs III's court case is a claim from his legal team. According to The Daily Beast's AJ McDougall, the attorneys of the former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, wrote in their court filing that the firefighters from the Clark County Fire Department may be at fault for the death of Tina Tintor, who died in her car after Ruggs crashed into it.

In their court filing, Ruggs’ lawyers wrote that “firemen did not attempt to extinguish the fire at Ms. Tintor’s vehicle for approximately 20 minutes at which time the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames.”

Firefighters were “in a position to extinguish the vehicle fire while it was in its infancy stages and failed to do so,” they alleged.

County spokesperson Erik Pappa slammed the suggestion, saying in a statement to the Review Journal that there had been “no delays in response or in the attack on the fire,” and that “the vehicle was fully involved in fire upon [first responders’] arrival.”

Although Ruggs' lawyers are doing what their job requires them to do (defend their client), trying to move the responsibility of Tintor's death from Ruggs and onto first responders will likely be met with harsh criticism and skepticism.
