Ontario County (N.Y.) District Attorney Michael Tantillo said on Wednesday that neither of the enhanced videos from last month’s Sprint Car race in upstate New York shows Tony Stewart driving recklessly when he hits and kills Kevin Ward Jr. In clearing Stewart of criminal charges, Tantillo said a second, unreleased video shows “no aberrational driving” by Stewart. He added, “[The two tapes] were pretty important pieces of evidence.”
Before taking questions, Tantillo made this statement:
“This week, an Ontario County grand jury has been meeting to hear testimony and review evidence gathered in the Tony Stewart matter, relating to the death of Kevin Ward. The grand jury has completed its investigation. During the course of the presentation, approximately two dozen witnesses testified. These included a number of race-car drivers, racetrack employees and volunteers, two accident reconstruction experts, medical personnel and a number of police officers. The grand jury reviewed a number of photographs and video recordings, as well as other documentary evidence. After listening to and questioning all of the witnesses, and reviewing all of the evidence, the grand jury has determined there is no basis to charge Tony Stewart with any crimes.”
So, does anyone here have any evidence to add ?
