Prosecutors to get Henry Ruggs III's medical records, but doctors won't testify, judge rules

1:01 PM

Prosecutors can get blood test results for Henry Rugg III, but they can't ask doctors what he said after his car crash or what his injuries were.

Robert Walsh said he would issue a written order to limit information available to prosecutors.

The blood test results will be made public, along with the medical records. "Anything related to conversations or treatment as to a patient- doctor relationship is not relevant."

Police, firefighters, neighbors and passing motorists can testify for the prosecution.

The state is not entitled to her medical records because she was a victim in the case, according to the attorney for the passenger in the car. Neither Kilgo-Washington nor Ruggs were required to appear in court.

The attorneys for the two parties have refused to specify the injuries they incurred, but the lawyer for the Rugg said his client was in a leg cast for more than two weeks. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said he believed that Kilgo-Washington's arm and leg were injured. In his initial court appearance the morning after the crash, he was in a wheelchair and wearing a foam neck brace.

The prosecutor told the judge that Kilgo-Washington's medical records were needed to prove her injuries.

A preliminary hearing of evidence was moved by Walsh. It was supposed to be next week.

Tina Tintor's Toyota RAV4 was set ablaze and she and her dog were killed by a speeding 2020 Chevrolet Corvette driven by 22-year-old Ryan Rugg. He had a blood-alcohol content that was twice the legal limit.

Raiders owner Mark Davis attended a funeral.

Less than 24 hours after the crash, the Raiders released Rugg, a first-round draft pick in 2020. He is on house arrest with strict conditions that include an ankle monitor and daily alcohol tests.

There are four felony counts and a misdemeanor charge of possession of a gun while under the influence of alcohol against Ruggs. He could face more than 50 years in prison if he is convicted.
