Hmmm, somehow I thought ‘negligence’ and ‘murder’ were things you couldn’t do, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR EXCUSE. Evidently we are not all equal under the law and if you have a good excuse you can do illegal stuff.
This is getting harder and harder to wrap my brain around. The nuances ...
To be convicted of murder, you need to have intent or recklessness...its PART OF THE DEFINITION. Therefore, excuses are absolutely relevant.
