Heiskell said his client is guilty only of failing to stop and render aid -- not murder.
Are all of you hitmen listening carefully? Anyone want to bump off their boss? What about that neighbor whose dog makes your yard its personal latrine? I wonder what the maximum sentence for failure to render aid is.
In Chante's lawyer's mischaracterization (viz. lying), he totally left out what could only be considered kidnapping and torture--causing death, inasmuch as his accident injuries didn't come close to killing him. She unlawfully restrained him from getting urgently needed medical care.
Perhaps the transient could be characterized as an amalgam of all those who had tormented her during her life. I'm sure there's a good victim-angle there somewhere.
Just when are this society's lawyers going to stop trying to (and succeeding) absolve people by blaming chemicals, hobgoblins and inanimate objects)? Ignorant and nullifying juries aren't headed in the right direction. When will our legislators remove the possibilities of such a defense? Never, for legislators have been corrupted via their benefactors in the ABA.
