I guess since there was no intent all is good.
I think the legal system has become a completer crap shoot. If it's an accident? If there is no intent? You might be able to do anything you want. Get away with treason or murder? [shrug] That's just the way it goes, right?
Myself, as a tax-paying, law-abiding pillar of my community, I have the feeling that if I ever slip up in even a small way, they would bankrupt me and try to send me to prison. You know, because the law says so.
Car ‘accidents’ happen where people are killed. The result varies as to prosecution with those as well.
