Actually sounded just right to me.
If Stewart did gun the engine, and the rear did step out, that's either involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide. Intent is not necessary, just negligence. A pro gunning the engine while going past someone at 40 MPH under a yellow would constitute that. As the author says, the worst case scenario is if Stewart told the police he didn't gun the engine, and videos show otherwise. That kind of stuff will tick a prosecutor off.
At least some of Ward's family is very angry. As the author says, there will be a lawsuit. And Stewart will pay rather than have a public trial.
So I think the author got it right.
BTW, US News and World Report rated Yung's school at #68 out of 200 or so. Hardly low. He got his law degree from UVA, rated eighth. And has had a number of articles printed in Law Review Journals. Not that this analysis requires a star.
