Seems like a good wrongful death case, but I question whether it is a criminal matter. Are they saying that the perps knew she was going to die when they set up the contest? Doesn't seem likely.

From http://cbs13.com/local/local_story_017093935.html

During the contest, a listener - self-identified as a nurse - called the live radio broadcast and warned that the game was dangerous.

"I want to say that those people drinking all that water can get sick and die from water intoxication," said the caller.

"Yeah, we're aware of that," replied a DJ. "They signed releases so we're not responsible, okay?"

THEY ARE SCREWED!

As well they should be.

Yeah, if they said that, then maybe it's not so clear. The prosecutor will probably lose in the end, but it would be worth prosecuting them just to make them sweat.

Really? Maybe if ALL the contestants died, sure. Then we can say that such an activity is dangerous. But one person? Out of how many?

Was she the winner? If not, then others drank more than she did! And they didn't die, did they?

How is the radio station supposed to be at fault? Personal responsibility, people.

They're worse than screwed. They're guilty.
