Grand Jury Clears Stewart

 ward stewart2bCANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP) – A grand jury in New York State has decided not to bring criminal charges against Tony Stewart in the August death of a driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York.
 
     Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said the victim, Kevin Ward Jr., was under the influence of marijuana the night of the accident and it was enough to impair judgment.
 
     Ward walked on the track during the race and approached Stewart’s car after the two collided.  He was struck and killed.
 
     Tantillo says two videos of the accident examined by investigators showed “no aberrational driving by Tony Stewart.”
