Tony Stewart - Cleared by Grand Jury

Sure, Tony gets a grand jury hearing days after he's charged.

Everyone else waits weeks or months.
 
Oh poor Lance, another rich white guy gets away with murder...

;)

Should we enshrine the getaway car in some sort of museum?
 
Because the accident investigation would have revealed that on a dirt track, once that driver that caused his own death came out as far as he did is was physically impossible to avoid hitting him. You cannot drift downhill and/or towards the inside of a curve because of physics.

You do not have sufficient traction to build a coefficient of drag sufficient to overcome the momentum of the mass of that body in motion. If he had five times the horsepower it would have made no difference.
 
a toxicology report on Ward revealed that he had marijuana in his system at the time of the accident.

Ooops....there goes a big chunk of the payday from the Civil Suit!
 
Wards contributory negligence percentage is on the rise, which is good news for Smoke!
 
I would expect that Stewart will quietly give some money to the family without acknowledging any culpability, simply to assuage some of his angst over the incident.

He couldn't do that prior to the grand jury exonerating him, lest it appear he was trying to buy his way out of the controversy.

The payment information will be leaked and WhoGivesaRippaDoo will be back squawking that the money shows conscientiousness of guilt.

What are they putting in weed these days that causes people to charge race cars and bullets? Aren't you supposed to sink into the couch?

The one and only time I tried it (recently), it did nothing for half and hour then I got the giggles.

When this whole thing began, I noted on day 1 that Ward had "crazy eyes" (he wasn't going to whistle Dixie). By day 2, they substituted those pictures with ones that did not let his little light shine...

I forgot that part. I took a hit with a friend in the parking lot. Like barely a toke. Felt nothing. medical grade hydro. Had another. Nothing. Just in case I figured I should wait a bit before driving. She left, I went into the bar.

Figured I should feel some sort of fucked up so I ordered a shot of Jamison. Alcohol came on, drunk but not high.

Then out of nowhere, I had a really unfamiliar feeling. Pleasent, almost neutral, then it hit me.. "OH...I am high!" and the thought that I (having never been high in a 1/2 century) being high tickled me to no end.

Then the rack of potato chips called to me. No kidding. I never eat them in the bar. I ate a package, then another.

This kid that I trained that bounces there came in as customer and orders a beer. Sees me grinning like a loon.

"What's up, query?"

I'm high.

"Atta boy."

He used to be a pot-head, something we had discussed whilst training.

I wasn't gonna make a habit of it and had to try it during my 7 days off plus some vacation time that they have been bugging me to use up. Drug tests.

We lose more operators to that than any other reason.
 
I'm glad he was cleared. While I do think it's possible he blipped the throttle to intimidate the kid, proving there was intent to run him over would have been impossible. The kid should have never been on the track. Period.


It's not like there is any winner in this event, Tony will have to live with this the rest of his life...I don't envy him at all. I wonder how it will affect his driving as well as him being a driver.

Such a senseless death...all because of rage.
 
If it was anyone of us vehicular manslaughter would have been the charge....eventually, because we wouldn't have had it decided so quickly.

At least it's not as bad as Donte Stallworth playing in the NFL after he killed someone drunk driving.
 
Evidently, it was video and Stewart's statements to investigators immediately after the incident which easily swayed the grand jurors, his statements never veering from what the jurors actually saw on video...

...according to Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo, who brought the case before the Grand Jury:

Those videos were examined in detail. They were enhanced. They were run through programs that allow the frames to be isolated. They were run at 75, 50 and 25 percent speed. They were overlaid with grids and data and they were pretty important piece of the evidence here.

The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which his vehicle veered to the right, up the track as a result of the collision. Prior to that his course was pretty straight.

It's long been guessed at by many that Ward, Jr. was actually trying to take a swing/jab at Stewart, first avoiding being hit by the right front, then stepping further in to take his swing/jab, but then immediately sucked-in to, and under, the right rear. With today's revelation that Ward, Jr., was stoned at the time of his death, this theory now almost becomes gospel to some.

Of the 23 grand jurors, only 12 had to vote for either second degree manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide for Stewart to be charge with either offense.

The word is that Smoke, within literally hours of the incident, reached out to the Ward family with the offer of any help he could provide (including footing the funeral bill); he was basically told to get screwed...

...that attitude continues today with the release of a statement by Ward, Jr.'s mom, underlining that the "matter is not at rest":

Our son got out of his car during caution while the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating, except for Tony Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy.

The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart and not my son.

The fact is that the entire focus has been on the actions of Stewart...

...and there is not one ounce of evidence that incriminates his actions that night, let alone supports in any practical way her emotional charge that Stewart "intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy."

In fact, District Attorney Tantillo, pinpointed where responsibility lays for what happened that night; the grand jurors, he said:

...were not considering whether anybody else was at fault. However, I am sure from their deliberations and discussions that the fact that Kevin Ward was observed running basically down two thirds of the track, into a hot track, into the middle of other cars that were racing, played a big, big factor in their decision.

Realistically, I think judgment is probably the most important factor in this case.

I wouldn't be surprised now if Stewart again reaches out to the Ward family, but he won't pay them a cent of the kind of vengeful blood money they're evidently after if they go civil and, with the evidence presented to the Grand Jury - including the fact that Ward, Jr. was so irresponsibly high - I can't see a jury favoring them in any way...

...and it's a good thing for them that Stewart is a good, honest man because he won't counter sue them for the obvious defamation of character and slander course they're still on.

I'm not sure how many words of this post are yours, but I agree fully with it.

The google really kills the game of bullshitters that think they know what they are talking about.

NYS Vehicular Manslaughter statute

Go ahead, Sea Lawyer, explain how that crime would apply in this situation, regardless of the celebrity of the people involved.
