The first example regarding the baby seems as if she was guilty of gross negligence. Not really what I was asking for. Her baby was obviously emaciated and visibly deteriorating. They throw people in prison doing this to animals, let alone human babies.
The second example you gave is more what I was looking for. However its more complicated than just running a red light or merging without seeing a person in your blind spot, truly innocent mistakes. This lady plowed over a biker that was right in front of her. Lied about the details and appears to have been heavily medicated.
As I said, I simply cannot find an example of someone making a mistake and going to prison for it, in regards to traffic. I have seen plenty of cases where parents get in trouble for leaving a gun accessible to their child and the like. Which is more negligent than it is a "mistake". |
