Quote by: Chaossaber314  Right which is why this is an incident of Negligent homicide and not Reckless Homicide / Manslaughter |
It was an accident. We DO NOT prosecute people for accidents. If you run a red light and cause an accident that results in serious bodily injury and/or death, you will not be prosecuted, because it was an accident. If you were speeding, driving recklessly or intoxicated, then legally it is not recognized as an accident and you may face criminal charges.
If I forget to put my car in park and it rolls on top of my daughter and kills her, should I be imprisoned with rapist, murderers and robbers? Hell no. It was an accident. If I was high at the time, then we have just cause to term it not as an accident, but a negligent action.

I thought you seemed rather sharp on the legal process.
