Prize Fighter Peck Cleared by Jury for Fatal Crash
A Little Rock jury acquitted a former prize fighter of running down and killing a man and a woman with his car. Testimony claimed he was out of synchronization and lacked normal nerve control, leading to debate over fitness to drive. State officials plan to deny Peck a driver license, while prosecutors argued juries cannot always reflect the defendant's condition or related accountability. The piece contends that such judgments affect public safety and justice.
