I love that all of the people that don’t like this are suddenly accomplished lawyers. Why don’t you all show up at the trial and add your arguments to his defense?
Regardless of what you think or feel Under the manslaughter statute, a person must perceive the risk and consciously disregard that his conduct could cause the death of another person.
Does it suck? Hell yeah. I think it’s shitty to slap manslaughter on him for this.
I also think that it sucks when rapists & murderers get 10 years jailtime where as someone distributing crack / coke / weed / etc will get 25 to life. And I don’t partake in any of that shit.
It’s your legal system. You don’t like it? CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
Back to 2turboZ’s point: KEEP THIS IN MIND THIS YEAR. YOU COULD BE IN THE NEON DRIVER’S SEAT RIGHT NOW.
