Oneil Cruz may have some very difficult questions to answer very soon.
When Cruz was a 21-year-old prospect, he was involved in a high-speed auto accident in the Dominican Republic that resulted in the deaths of three people. At the time, prosecutors alleged in a press release that an intoxicated Cruz was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee when he rear-ended a motorcycle at high speed, killing all three riders. On Thursday, a report by ProPublica’s Gus Garcia-Roberts claims that with help from a prominent fixer, Cruz and his family allegedly made the subsequent investigation into his culpability go away by paying off the victims’ families.
