Exactly. Abs sadly.
These type of cases are rarely nefarious. Usually the child is asleep, the parent forgets the child is in the car and realizes they forgot them after it’s too late.
Just had a child die here locally last week or two here from this.
I don’t know the facts of this case, maybe he did it on purpose as prosecutors claimed… if he did however it would be a rare exception.
That's why we have manslaughter.
Except that what if he were motivated to kill his son due to his deteriorating relationship with his wife? Why should such evidence be suppressed?

I was always terrified I would do that. So I put a baby blanket in the passenger seat as a reminder my boy was in the back. I don't know if I would have ever actually forgotten him, though.
I will disagree.
From my observation these types of cases are rarely NOT cold blooded murder.
I know, you will whine at me about how the poor parents are just so overwhelmed by their desire to do some activity that it is perfectly reasonable that they forgot their child.
Save it.
Somehow they managed not to "forget" their purse, briefcase, or stupid phones.
