LAS VEGAS -- Lawyers for ex-Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs are asking a judge to throw out evidence that prosecutors say shows he had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit while speeding at 156 mph on a city street before a fiery crash that killed a woman last November.
In a court filing that effectively delayed a preliminary hearing of evidence, Ruggs' defense team argues that police didn't have a legal reason to ask a judge to authorize a warrant to obtain Ruggs' blood.
``True probable cause did not exist,'' attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said in a document submitted May 23 to Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Ann Zimmerman.
