In the high-risk, high-speed world of sprint car racing, it is not uncommon for two automobiles to bump into each other, or "trade paint." So, when Tony Stewart pinched Kevin Ward, Jr., against the front stretch wall at the Canandaigua (New York) Motorsports Park on the night of August 9, 2014, causing Ward's car to crash, the incident could not have been considered out of the ordinary. Ward was, however, outraged. With the race suspended under a yellow caution flag, he exited his car and, wearing a dark suit, walked out onto the muddy track to confront Stewart. One driver swerved to avoid Ward, but Stewart's sprint car fishtailed and struck him. Soon thereafter, Ward died of "massive blunt force trauma." The prosecutor brought the case to the grand jury asking for second-degree
manslaughter. The grand jury did not find enough evidence however. The prosecutor asked the jury to hand down a(n) ____________. A. arraignment B. verdict C. warrant D. indictment
