"Your own link on Second Degree Murder says it require INTENT to kill someone."

Since you cant read I will repost with highlight!

21-5403. Murder in the second degree. (a) Murder in the second degree is the killing of a human being committed: (1) Intentionally; or (2) unintentionally but recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.

But ho! Does not the value of a human life also contain the right to risk it? So it looks dangerous? That is my point! We’ve banned the brave.

““Not a single engineer was directly involved in Verruckt’s dynamic engineering or slide path design,” according to the indictments. Those same indictments also claim that Henry rushed production of the slide in order to impress executives involved with a Travel Channel television program.”

You are kidding right? They didn’t once have an engineer who actually knew what they were doing analyze the ride.. it was clear they effed up the math when they built the original design, then the more tame design they effed it up again just not as dramatically.

Amusement parks are not screwed by this case or indictment.. folks half arsing their engineering to put a death trap out as a thrill ride are.

“Only theirs are;
Capital Murder (1st Degree)
First Degree (2nd degree everywhere else)”

Dude your are so wrong. First degree is NOT second degree.

Any water slide could kill people.

Falling off the stairs going to the top could kill people.

Building something that decapitates a kid when used as designed that’s wanton disregard for human life. Not doing proper engineering on such ride... yep. Wanton disregard for human life. That’s murder.

You better believe people will for that too.. don’t believe me? Look what happened to the engineer who signed off on the design change of that catwalk that collapsed in that hotel back in the 80s. Better believe folks will get indicted over that bridge fiasco

The la-and of the free! And the ho-ome of the... snowflakes.

When something that looks dangerous can’t be... well we must confess, modern aircraft do break the rule here. And regulation got them there. But does everything have to have that kind of looks-to-safety ratio?

“Capital Murder (1st Degree)
First Degree (2nd degree everywhere else)
Second Degree (Manslaughter, or 3rd degree everywhere else)”

Dude ....

Capital murder is subject to the death penalty.

First degree is first degree.

Second degree is second degree NOT manslaughter.

Murder 2 *is* homicide due to willful negligence.

How many car crashes? Motorcycle wrecks? A fatal injury kills. This is bloody shirt waving.

Life is a death trap. On average, visiting the slide cut people’s life spans by how much? Maybe the pleasure helped some people live longer.

What disturbs about this case is unqualified people designing it, and then deliberately hiding a record of 13+ injuries the first six months of operation and refusing to do anything about it. Makes you wonder about all these parks.
