肖恩·奥利弗在新贝德福德发生汽车侧翻后接受了医院治疗,随后被捕。到周日下午,这位42岁的市议员已暂停竞选马萨诸塞州副州长——距离选举仅剩16天。届时选民将以一张联合候选人名单为单位,选出他和共和党副州长候选人迈克·米诺格。1 23
波士顿25台于10月18日东部时间下午2:23报道奥利弗暂停竞选,哥伦比亚广播公司波士顿台也证实了这一消息。这一进展更新了《新贝德福德之光》此前的报道;该报道当时称,奥利弗对米诺格的回应尚不清楚。报道的发布时间并不能确定奥利弗究竟何时宣布了这一决定。23 8 1
对米诺格而言,停止竞选与退出候选人组合之间的区别如今至关重要。马萨诸塞州州长和副州长由选民搭配选举,奥利弗是唯一一位竞选副州长的共和党人。随着11月3日选举临近,米诺格的竞选搭档已经停止竞选,但尚无经核实的候选人组合官方变更。1 23
我非常失望。肖恩是一个父亲,也是一个祖父,他需要把家人放在首位。
米诺格还表示,如果两人当选,他将正式要求奥利弗辞职。这是面向未来的另一项请求,并非奥利弗已经递交辞呈,也不能证明米诺格有权单方面换掉另一名候选人。奥利弗暂停竞选,也不能证明他已辞去目前在新贝德福德市议会担任的职务。1
夜间车祸后面临四项指控
刑事案件始于10月17日周六深夜。据新贝德福德警方提供给发言人霍莉·亨顿、并由《新贝德福德之光》和NBC10/WJAR报道的信息,奥利弗驾驶的汽车于东部时间晚上11:40左右在达特茅斯街撞上停放的车辆,随后侧翻。事故共涉及5辆车,其中2辆严重受损。5是报道中的车辆总数,并非在奥利弗的车之外另有5辆被撞的停放车辆。1 2
奥利弗在圣卢克医院接受治疗后被捕。警方称,他面临4项指控:酒后驾驶、疏忽驾驶、超速行驶以及违反道路标线规定。这些都是指控,并非定罪结论。奥利弗被推定无罪,目前报道中没有独立核实的起诉文件。1
他于周日上午约6:45办理了入狱登记,上午9点刚过便以个人担保获释,也就是承诺返回法庭后获准离开。尚未核实有其他释放条件。详细时间线显示,车祸发生在周六深夜,登记入狱发生在周日上午,且他在被捕前接受了医院治疗;但这并未确定他被捕的确切时间。1
奥利弗最初证实发生了车祸,但拒绝进一步置评。目前尚未确认他本人或律师曾就据称的驾驶行为、各项指控或任何检测结果作出实质回应。现有报道未公布他的血液酒精浓度,也没有确认是否进行了某项特定检测。尚未核实案件指定的法院、案号、提审日期或下一次开庭日期。1
米诺格在声明中说,奥利弗「能活下来,而且没有无辜者受伤,真是幸运」。这是米诺格的说法,并非经独立证实的医疗结论。伤者总数尚未公布;奥利弗曾在医院接受治疗这一事实本身,不能说明任何伤势的性质或严重程度。24 1
停止竞选不等于退出提名
马萨诸塞州法律规定了正式退出程序,而不只是公开宣布。第53章第13条规定,退出请求必须由本人签署、经公证人确认,并提交给持有提名文件的官员。法律还规定,退出须在法定提交期限内办理。13
根据目前可核实的材料,该条款并不能确定奥利弗作为州初选中已获提名的候选人的具体情况。现有法律摘录无法确定适用的日历截止日期,也无法确定这一候选人组合是否仍可依法有效退出。若给选民一个确定的替换截止日期,或断言不可能替换,都超出了目前核实的信息范围。13
另有关于提名空缺的条款,涉及退出、死亡和丧失资格。但现有文本并未说明在初选之后形成的这张联合候选人名单中,替换副州长候选人的完整程序、时间安排或主管权限。关于提名空缺的规则,也无法回答另一个不同问题:如果奥利弗当选后辞职,会发生什么。19
马萨诸塞州共和党主席艾米·卡内瓦莱最初表示,党内正在等待更多信息。目前尚未核实共和党之后作出过任何决定,包括选定替代人选、接受退出提名或确认选票变更。1
接下来有两项截然不同的考验。驾驶行为指控必须在法庭上接受检验,最终结果将取决于证据,而非竞选引发的后续影响。选举官员必须解决任何依法生效的候选人组合变更。奥利弗已经不再请求选民投票选他;但仅凭这一点,不能说明选民将不再被要求投票选他。
播出原貌 14 行
- Shawn Oliver has suspended his lieutenant governor campaign after his arrest following a rollover crash. Massachusetts elects its governor and lieutenant governor together, so the consequences reach his running mate, Mike Minogue. Whether the suspension will lead to an official change to their Republican ticket is still unresolved.
- Oliver, forty-two, is also a New Bedford city councilor. He was the only Republican running for lieutenant governor. His suspension leaves Minogue approaching the November third election with a running mate who has stopped campaigning, sixteen days before voters choose their next governor.
- Minogue had asked Oliver to suspend his campaign immediately. Oliver has now taken that step. But the legal identity of the ticket depends on election rules and official action, beyond a candidate's decision to stop asking for votes.
- Oliver has suspended his campaign, and no election official has confirmed a change to the Republican ticket. Voters still need to know whether a legally effective withdrawal or replacement will follow.
- Police say Oliver's car struck parked vehicles and overturned on Dartmouth Street in New Bedford. Five vehicles were involved altogether, and two were badly damaged. The crash happened around eleven forty Saturday night, October seventeenth.
- Oliver was treated at St. Luke's Hospital and then arrested. New Bedford police are investigating. Oliver initially confirmed the crash but declined further comment. The allegations against him cover both alcohol use and how police say he drove.
- Police say Oliver faces operating under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation, speeding and a marked-lanes violation. He is presumed innocent, and the charges still have to be tested in court. His blood-alcohol level and next court date aren't known.
- The crash happened late Saturday, while the booking and release came Sunday morning. Hospital treatment came before the arrest. That sequence puts the overnight criminal investigation and the later political decision on the same short timeline.
- After the late-Saturday crash, Oliver was booked around six forty-five Sunday morning. He was released on his own recognizance just after nine. That means he was allowed to leave on his promise to return to court.
- Minogue also said he would formally ask Oliver to resign if elected. That would be a separate step after an election victory. In his immediate reaction, Minogue said, “I am extremely disappointed.” He urged Oliver, a father and grandfather, to put his family first.
- Minogue said Oliver was lucky to be alive and lucky that no innocent person was hurt. He said Oliver needed to ensure this never happened again. A complete injury count hasn't been released.
- State Republican chair Amy Carnevale initially said the party was waiting for more information. No replacement decision has been announced. Any effort to change the ticket would have to navigate Massachusetts election law after the state primary.
- Massachusetts law describes a formal withdrawal through a signed request, acknowledged before a notary, and filed with the officer holding the nomination. The law also addresses nomination vacancies caused by withdrawal, death or ineligibility.
- Those general provisions leave the practical question for this ticket unresolved. State election officials haven't confirmed whether Oliver can be replaced after the primary, or what deadline would apply to such a change before November third.
