A judge in Las Vegas told attorneys for Henry Rugg III to get their own subpoena for the records from the fire department about the fatal crash and fire the former Raiders wide receiver is accused of causing.
Justice of the Peace Baucum told David and Richard that she didn't agree with the effort and that a court order wasn't needed.
A witness told the lawyers that firefighters were slow to extinguish the flames in the vehicle in which Tina Tintor died. The witness has not been identified.
There were no delays in the response to the fire.
The witnesses told police that they tried to save Tintor but were turned back by the heat, flames and smoke.
After the crash, the Raiders released him. He's free on $150,000 bail with electronic monitoring and alcohol checks while the case is pending.
The home that Ruggs owns is close to where the crash occurred.
If he's convicted on the two felony charges of driving under the influence causing death or serious injury, he could face at least two years of mandatory prison time each. He was charged with two felony reckless driving counts and a weapons charge after a loaded handgun was found in his wrecked sports car.
The rear of the Toyota RAV4 was rupturing when the Corvette slammed into it, injuring Ruggs and his girlfriend, Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington.
Prosecutors said that Washington had surgery for an arm injury.
An attorney for Washington has launched a similar effort to block prosecutors from accessing her client's medical records. There is a hearing on December 8.
The Raiders made Rugg's first pick in the 2020 NFL draft from Alabama, where he helped the Tide win the NCAA championship.
