一句话看懂
ProPublica reported Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz allegedly used a fixer to pay $66,000 to families of.
The case was dismissed in 2021, so the report raises new questions about accountability.
背景
In 2020, Oneil Cruz, then a 21-year-old top Pirates prospect, rear-ended a motorcycle in the Dominican Republic, killing all three passengers. According to a ProPublica report published Thursday, his parents brought in a fixer who paid the victims' families so they would not sue or press prosecutors to pursue the case. The accident was mentioned in news reports as Cruz rose through the minors but faded; on Aug. 30, 2021, a judge dismissed the case after the victims' families were not involved, and Cruz made his MLB debut 33 days later.
