 Breaking NewsKiller Punch Will Go Unpunished Jason "Jay" Allen, the 17-year-old Lindenwold High football player was scheduled to go to court today for fatally punching a man during a road rage incident last month. But the judge dismissed the case this morning, after the Camden County prosecutor moved to drop the charges. "I believe the juvenile acted in self-defense as that term is defined by New Jersey law," says a statement from prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi. On Sept. 12, the 6-foot-6, 300 pound junior pulled out of a gas station and "inadvertently" cut off James Munter, 53, said Allen's lawyer, Jeffrey Zucker. Munter (pictured) allegedly followed Allen. The teen drove home, jumped from his SUV, and, as his father watched, ran across the street, only to be struck by Munter's car, according to the prosecutor's office. Allen bounded off the hood, went around and punched Munter twice through the open window, knocking the driver out, the official account goes. Munter never regained consciousness, his daughter said.
