[Fox] South Dakota’s attorney general — who said he hit a deer after fatally striking a pedestrian last year — allegedly had the victim’s glasses inside his car, according to newly-released interviews.

The state’s Department of Public Safety on Tuesday released recordings of investigators questioning Jason Ravnsborg about the Sept. 12 crash that left 55-year-old Joseph Boever dead.

The footage shows how, during a Sept. 14 interview, detectives told Ravnsborg that they had discovered a pair of broken glasses on the front passenger floorboard of his vehicle.

During a second sit-down on Sept. 30, interviewers asked about the glasses again, telling Ravnsborg that they had belonged to the victim.

"They’re Joe’s glasses," an agent says, referring to Boever. "So that means his face came through your windshield."

Upon hearing that, Ravnsborg looked down and sighed deeply, before shaking his head, the footage shows.

"I did not see those glasses until you showed them to me," he said.

The agent told Ravnsborg that "the only way for them to get there is through the windshield."

"His face was in your windshield, Jason. Think about that."

Considering the amount of force needed to penetrate a human head thru car windshield and given normal eye-wear that would disintegrate into a bunch of pieces this is one unlucky AG.

The Victim must have been wearing some really Extreme Impact Resistant Glasses. ☺
