“willful negligence”
Is “that” your euphemism for MURDER?
As far as it goes for ole Teddy boy, a “good” Catholic,
“Romans 12:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
You noticed that I said Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo, didn't you? Kennedy probably didn't plan to kill Mary Jo ahead of time (although that's certainly possible).
So that's why I threw in the "willful negligence". This was manslaughter.
