driving a badly maintained vehicle and he personally caused a part to fall off on a highway and cause the deaths of little kids in a van? Did he also steer the broken part into the van?

Ryan did a lot of bad things, but to say he murdered someone or to even claim he has blood on his hands? Come on. That is simply absurd.

He did belong in jail for the actual corruption he was personally involved in, but your statement is way over the top.
