Sam was originally charged with 2 cases of Negligent Homicide that were both dismissed and refiled as Manslaughter charges.  He was driving home Super Bowl Sunday, allegedly racing another car.  The car lost control, slid across all lanes of traffic on 635, hit a suburban that then hit and flipped over the center dividing barrier, and the two people ejected from the vehicle died.  After a week-long trial, the Jury found Sam Not Guilty in both cases.
