A prosecutor determined the"tragic loss" of 13-year-old Jacqueline"Laney" Hudson was a"direct result" of her own behavior under the effects of alcohol.CHARLESTON W.Va. — An off-duty deputy sheriff in West Virginia whowith his marked cruiser last year will not face criminal charges in her death, according to the prosecutor investigating the case.
A state police accident reconstruction expert could not precisely determine how fast the cruiser was moving when it struck Hudson because its “black box” — which usually records that information — did not activate, according to Sorsaia. Hudson was killed on December 30, 2022 just after 10:30 p.m. in the state’s second largest city of Huntington — populated by just under 50,000 — where she was hanging out at an intersection in a group of teenagers.
A subsequent autopsy found that Hudson had alcohol and marijuana in her system when she died, according to Sorsaia. Law enforcement officials said Hudson was intoxicated from drinking beer and smoking synthetic marijuana — commonly known as K2 or spice — and was “significantly impaired” when she ran into the street in front of Racer’s vehicle.A video taken off Hudson’s phone by state police after her death showed the kids running around in the street by the intersection prior to the crash.
The prosecutor found no cause for Racer to be charged under the state’s negligent homicide statute, which requires evidence of driving with “willful wanton disregard of the safety of others.”“There must be a conscious decision made where one would know they are putting other lives at risk,” he wrote.Estimates by state police reconstruction teams analyzing skid marks and other factors placed Racer’s speed between 47 and 55 miles per hour — at least 10 to 20 miles per hour over the speed limit.
