Lawyer for $12.6M suit targets driver and employer
Harley Daniels says the suit claims the defendant was operating a company vehicle on the clock when the fatal crash occurred. Tulsa HR director Al Smith says he has not seen the filing. Pritchard’s attorney Barry Crutchfield says his client was numbed by the incident. A no contest plea led to 364 days in Lea County Detention Center with day work, then eight weeks of night confinement and weekend house arrest plus community service. NAACP urged AG to probe the sentence, but the AG declined, saying it lacked jurisdiction.
