Judge: State can get medical files in ex-Raider Henry Ruggs' case

LAS VEGAS -- A Nevada judge has ruled that prosecutors can obtain medical records about injuries that former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs' girlfriend received in a high-speed crash that killed a woman last November.

Attorney Peter Christiansen did not immediately respond Friday to messages about whether he'll appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. The judge issued the ruling on Kiara Jenai Kilgo-Washington's medical files April 27.

A preliminary hearing of evidence in the case against Ruggs has been delayed by postponements and legal moves by Christiansen and Ruggs' attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld.
