South Dakota AG Accused of Lying About Fatal Car Accident Last Year

Last September, South Dakota's Attorney General hit and run a man, killing him.

Or, rather: He claims it wasn't a hit and run because he didn't know the thing he hit was a human. He says he didn't know it was a man until he revisited the collision scene the next day.

Problem: Prosecutors say the dead man's eyeglasses were found in his car.

Pretty sure deer don't wear eyeglasses.

From the Washington Post:

He's a Republican so believe me, you'll be hearing a lot about this!

Who's Andrew Cuomo? I'm not familiar with the name.

Impeachment charges have been filed against him, and Governor Kristi Noem says he must resign:

Now that the investigation has closed and charges have been filed, I believe the Attorney General should resign. I have reviewed the material we are releasing, starting today, and I encourage others to review it as well.

Did he run to take a Teddy Kennedy pause to clear the alcohol out of his system? He says he wasn't drunk, but... One wonders.

Here's the video of a police interrogation. I don't know when it's from, if it's from around the time of the incident or if it's from more recently.

It starts getting contentious at 1:10:00. They tell him the "face came through the window" at 1:11:00.
