Doctor convicted in 'ski rage' attack on boy
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A doctor accused of attacking a 12-year-old boy in a "ski rage" incident at a northern New Jersey resort has been convicted of child endangerment and other counts.
But a Sussex County jury also acquitted Samuel Caruthers of aggravated assault and a weapons charge.
The 47-year-old Caruthers could face up to seven years in prison when he's sentenced next month. But the doctor's lawyer says they will appeal the "contradictory" jury verdict.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities have said Caruthers punched the boy and stabbed him with a ski pole in February 2016. That came after the youth fell into Caruthers and his then-10-year-old son while snowboarding on the bunny slope at the Mountain Creek resort in Vernon.
The youth suffered minor injuries in the attack. He said the collision was an accident.
