The family of a West Virginia 13-year-old who was struck and killed by an off-duty sheriff's deputy with his marked cruiser last year has filed a civil suit in federal court against the former officer and other county officials. Opal Slone, the mother of Jacqueline “Laney” Hudson, is requesting a jury trial for former Cabell County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeffrey Racer, accusing him of speeding when he struck her daughter in December 2022, among other allegations, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. district court serving southern West Virginia. A state police accident reconstruction expert who responded to the scene could not precisely determine how fast the cruiser was moving when it hit Hudson because its “black box” — which usually records that information — did not activate, according to a special prosecutor assigned to the case who cleared Racer in May of criminal charges.
