Dad sees daughter crushed by car

This is about whether or not he should have, under ideal circumstances, been able to determine whether or not his actions were likely to result in death.

Well illegal racing in places where innocent people are going about their business could very well end in death, so there is nothing to determine, you know it can happen so when it does claiming it was unintentional surely cannot hold up in court.

Depends on the circumstances I suppose.

Basically porch in easy terms, you know prior to engaging the race the outcome could be bad if something goes wrong, you then go ahead knowing something could go wrong, something goes wrong when you knew it could go wrong and then you claim it was unintentional.

Boy how on earth people buy that rubbish is beyond me.

It is the truth. They only get you on something called indirect intention and that is not going to result in a life sentence.

As long as it involves some jail time i will be happy.

beaten to a pulp? doesn't sound like a really legal term...

is it still called a beating when you crush it with a table vice?

It should do. A few years at least I would imagine.

I would imagine that falls under assault or assault with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.

involuntary Manslaughter. Is this a legal term in our legal system?

killadoob being irrational again. I completely agree with Porchrat. Accidents, that happen through negligence, are not murder.

I wonder if either of the drivers were DUI.

Wilful negligence (not wanting to stick to speed limit, f govment and slow people) or real accidental i-did-not-think-that would-happen negligence?

Negligence is not racing at high speed in area's populated by innocent people. Negligence is forgetting to replace your brakes or ignoring your bald tires.

The only irrational people are those who defend these killers.

I guess garson those stupid fools were walking on the road, what a silly thing to do. Those two racers could never have known they might kill people.

Please send these fking idiots to jail for a minimum of 10 years.

Those that live their lives (and ruin others), one quarter mile (of public road) at a time.
