On a lonely stretch of highway in central South Dakota, Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg - the state's top law enforcement officer - strikes and kills a man who was walking on the edge of the road.
The public learns about the crash during an impromptu press conference the next day. The investigation plays out over months. The repercussions play out over years.
