Johnson County Grand Jury Fails To Indict Man
KENTUCKY....
Johnson County Circuit Clerk Vicki Rice says murder and DUI charges against 32 year old Robert Powers was dismissed by the grand jury Thursday because there was not enough evidence to indict him. Sheriff Deputies say, in October 2010, Powers was speeding at 90 m.p.h. when he hit a car in Johnson County, killing 11 year old Austyn Stapleton, a passenger in that car. Powers failed every sobriety test. However, toxicology tests found that Powers had no drugs or alcohol in his system when he was involved in the crash.
