Overview
- A 14-page memo finalized Oct. 17 and obtained Thursday says the state cannot prove culpable negligence or legal causation beyond a reasonable doubt for Detective Christopher Moulton.
- The pursuit began over an unreadable license plate and violated Orlando Police Department policy that restricts chases to suspected forcible felonies, with prosecutors noting Moulton drove an unmarked truck and turned off his lights mid-pursuit.
- Investigators say fleeing driver Dornell Bargnare hit Gerald Neal on Indiana Street before crashing, and body-camera video shows Moulton appeared unaware Neal was pinned under his truck until he was called back.
- Prosecutors report the medical examiner found Neal died from multiple blunt impact injuries and classified the manner of death as an accident.
- OPD says Moulton remains on active duty pending an internal review, while Bargnare faces vehicular homicide and other felonies and is scheduled for trial next month.
