Truth of the matter is this crap goes on at a dirt track almost every saturday night, this is just the first time somebody has gotten killed while doing it. Had it been anybody other than Tony Stewart who hit the guy it wouldn't have been major news.

I don't think Stewart's position on the track will be damaging to him. The guy who got hit looked like he'd have done anything to get as close as he could to Stewart's car.
I don't know what some people are looking at but he came pretty close to being hit a couple times before Stewart got him.
I really think what happened can be easily explained away by a lawyer as a complete accident. So many things could have gone wrong in that situation, and they did.
I have no idea if Stewart tried to scare him or not, wouldn't put it past him.

My problem has been with the people coming in ready to convict TS and throw him in jail because someone died... all based on this video, which if anything, implicates Ward more than anyone.
Because they want Stewart to be guilty.

One driver who is a friend of Ward( I don't know this for sure just what some on this board are saying) saying TS was trying to scare him
If that's true, would that follow under voluntary or involuntary manslaughter?

If everyone was forced to guess, not as a jury but just as a pick what happened, would most guess:
A. He did everything he could to avoid him and avoiding at all cost was his only intentions
B. He was trying to buzz the tower and screwed up
I say B

I think that's a very fair and level headed opinion. I have no beef with that. But some other less logical posters are already reaching for an ultimate conclusion based on very little evidence. I just don't see the point of making up ones mind so soon. There undoubtedly will be more to come of this. Some people are just in such a hurry to see things as black and white when there is right now a lot of gray.

C. He was dealing with something in the car such as removing a tear off, adjusting breaks, checking out gauges, or a whole host of other things, and at the last second tried to avoid him when he saw him.

probably B, but i don't know what that means to me in term of fault/guilt and punishment.

It would be major news, but people wouldn't assume guilt or negligence with any other driver because it's doubtful there would be a history of bad and dangerous behavior with another driver.

Nothing in that video shows him doimg thzt yhough. You are just sticking with you want to see because if you admit that youre wrong you will feel stupid that you wasted your day arguing the wrong side.
People are acting like this dirt throw is a super common aoccurancd. Tony is awesome to think of that new trick in the split second thzt he saw the idiot jump from front of the 45 car. Even better the guy is walkig towards his car and hes walking right into tonys master plan...
Except they are in the groove where the track is slick...the dirt thats gonna be thrown would be the cushion which they werent near.
But tony prob didnt think of that when he thought of the new dirt where there is none trick

I can't believe bc some of you don't like TS you actually think he would intentionally run someone over. Some of y'all are fricked in the head

With his history of aggression towards other drivers, plus the feuding these two were doing during this race, I would say that was exactly what he was trying to do.
Probably not something they can convict him on anything though, unless there is some other evidence.

I don't think he tried to run him over

Sorry I just responded to the last post in the thread, wasn't necessarily directed at you

I love how people blanket sociopaths as "Hannibal Lector" style. Most sociopaths can't function well enough in life to obtain any sort of fame. You are talking about people that would carve a dick on to a wall in front of you, and not understand nor care why anyone would be mad at them.

Yep
He's a tPOS and is therefore gets no free pass if people jump the gun
Not sure why people can't understand this.
If this was Jeff Gordon or Someone, but this guy has been NASCAr's biggest piece of shite for a while
Something like this was bound to happen eventually. Dude is mental

Manslaughter is a more serious crime than negligent homicide. In fact, manslaughter carries up to 40 years time. Doesn't fit this situation in my opinion.
Perhaps in the state of Louisiana, but in the state of Georgia, a second degree charge of vehicular manslaughter only carries a year in prison, plus a $15,000 fine.
