...On June 10, 1983, Buck arrived at the house Tracey was staying at and demanded to see her. Tracey remained inside and contacted the police. Fifteen minutes later, with no officer in sight, Tracey exited the house to speak to Buck. Twenty five minutes after Tracey's call a single officer arrived. The officer sat in his car while Buck chased Tracey, grabbed her by the hair and stabbed her over twenty times.
The officer eventually exited the car and took the knife from Buck, but he made no effort to arrest him. While the officer watched, Buck kicked Tracey in the head several times, breaking her neck. Buck then ran into the house, grabbed Charles Jr. and brought him outside. Buck dropped Charles Jr. on Tracey's limp body and once again kicked her in the head.
Roughly forty minutes after the police arrived, Tracey was loaded into an ambulance. Buck threatened Tracey one more time and was finally arrested.
Buck was convicted of assault and sentenced to 20 years, but served less than eight years in prison.
Tracey Thurman spent eight months in the hospital. She is partially paralyzed to this day.
Officer was not threatened. Someone else's life was.
