Tony Stewart case involving driver's death to be sent to grand jury
Murderous bastard Tony Stewart could face criminal charges stemming from a race last month when a car driven by the three-time NASCAR champion struck and killed a fellow driver who was on foot during a sprint-car race in upstate New York.
Michael Tantillo, the district attorney in Ontario County, N.Y., said in a statement Tuesday he planned to send evidence in the Stewart case to a state grand jury "in the near future."
After examining the evidence and listening to witnesses, a grand jury would determine whether Stewart, 43, should be indicted on any criminal charges in the death of fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr. or decide the case does not merit an indictment.
Sending the case to the grand jury "means the prosecutor already made the determination that there's enough evidence to charge someone with a felony," said Lauryn Gouldin, an assistant professor of law at Syracuse (N.Y.) University.
Tantillo did not specify what potential charges might be involved, although there has been speculation they might include various manslaughter or negligent-homicide charges.
The fatality occurred Aug. 9 during a sprint-car race — which are unrelated to NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series — at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park dirt track.
Stewart and 20-year-old Ward were racing side-by-side when Ward's car crashed into the fence. Ward got out of his car, stood on the track and appeared to be angrily pointing at Stewart when he was struck and killed by Stewart's car as Stewart circled back around.
An amateur video that captured the incident went viral on the Internet and it sparked an intense public debate about who might have been at fault.
