Gov. Kristi Noem calls on House to impeach Jason Ravnsborg after judge finds AG guilty [View all]
Gov. Kristi Noem is asking the South Dakota House of Representatives to review the case file of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg's crash that killed a man in 2020, and consider impeachment.
The call from Noem comes after Ravnsborg stated Thursday he won't be stepping down from his role as the state's top law enforcement official, despite a judge only hours earlier finding him guilty of two misdemeanors tied to the crash almost a year ago.
Speaker of the House Spencer Gosch said in March the House would wait until after “the judicial system is able to do its job” to proceed with articles of impeachment against Ravnsborg, Noem's release stated. And the South Dakota Sheriff’s Association, the South Dakota Police Chiefs Association, and the South Dakota Fraternal Order of Police previously called on him to resign, the release states.
Noem stated she was disappointed in how the case was handled by prosecutors, and "outraged" at the result of the case, alleging Ravnsborg had not accepted the responsibility of Boever's death.
