## Summary

Antonio Sabato Jr. has asked for compassion and privacy after his son Jack was arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Anchorage, Alaska. He expressed sympathy for the family of Carl Simmonds and said his unconditional love for his son does not lessen the seriousness of the loss. Sabato Jr. also urged people to let the facts emerge through the legal process rather than speculation or public judgement.

Jack Sabato, 32, was arrested on 9 November and charged with felony and misdemeanor counts related to leaving the scene of a collision. Investigators say surveillance footage showed a white Chevrolet Tahoe striking Simmonds, 42, and driving away; a vehicle registered to Jack was later found with fresh damage. Jack allegedly told police he thought he had hit an animal while making deliveries. He was arraigned the next day, with bail set at $5,000 and an order not to drive.
