In reply to the discussion: Tony Stewart Runs Over Driver During Confrontation, Killing Him [View all]exboyfil
(18,359 posts)I am predicting what will happen. Stewart has a credible defense and the standard for proof is going to be higher than some street incident. The deceased driver knew the risks in his sport and he further increased that risk by behaving in a reckless manner. For a criminal conviction you have to show intent, and I just don't see that happening here. Other video perhaps will show more.
I will give you an example in another sport. In a college baseball game a batter was in the on deck circle which is far from the plate, and a pitcher intentionally threw a fastball at his face. It hit him in the eye and blinded him in one eye. That pitcher was never charged. It that case intent was demonstrated through the pitcher's own statements.
