deland police chief fired harris the same day he watched the dash cam video.d. he was just released the month before he died. friends in the car with him that night told police he fled because he was so afraid of going back to jail. randi kaye, cnn, deland, florida. >>> so i want to pass this by cnn's legal expert. there are so many questions. >> it's tough to watch. >> does that matter whether that man was hit or that man slipped and fell in any kind of litigation or pursuit of criminal justice? >> it could, ashleigh. then it could go to intent. a car striking someone, you could analyze it and say he struck him and it was an intentional act. however, for what this officer was facing at the state level when the grand jury did not indict, he was facing more of a reckless driving. there's a policy with this police force that says you don't do this. you don't pursue someone unless they're getting away in a forceable felony situation. that served as the underlying basis. the issue becomes whether or not the officer engaged in any criminal activity. from the perspe
