Sprint car fatality update: Tony Stewart cleared, Kevin Ward stoned

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/24/nascar-stewart-grandjury-idUSL2N0RP2AA20140924

Toxicology tests indicated that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night of the incident, at levels "enough to impair judgment," (Ontario County, N.Y. District Attorney Michael) Tantillo told a news conference. He said Stewart was not tested, but was interviewed that night by a certified drug recognition expert, who did not find any impairment.

Authorities maintained early in the investigation there was no evidence of criminal behavior by Stewart, but refrained from clearing him while they tried to determine if he hit the throttle as he approached Ward.

Some of us have been on meds for so long that not taking them causes a change in behavior. Tell me anything, if it comes from an expert I'm persuaded.
