How about a hunter accidentally killing another hunter in the woods? Should we have an urban riot over that?
Yeah, that’s another scenario. Seems like there is discretion to rule out “unlawful death” even if it’s an unnatural death. Vehicle collisions would be another scenario - seems like they have to decide whether there was unlawful activity that caused the death before they can decide whether the death itself was unlawful.
I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know. I always thought there had to be evidence of an actual crime (as opposed to an accident, self-defense, etc) before somebody could be charged.
