So what gives?
I read it was an accidental discharge of the weapon and a chance ricochet that killed her, I totally get how that shouldn't be considered murder. bad situation for both parties involved. ( much worse situation for the woman), but how does the guy just get off? I thought that's what manslaughter and wrongful death was used for, apparently he was a thief, and a small handful of other mediocre crimes, so i would think even more of a case to make something stick. Like when a drunk driver kills someone, they usually throw the book at them.
I don't know, this incident is just plain disgusting any way you look at it, I don't imagine a manslqughter charge would really teach a vagrant anything really. But that's kind of a kick in the balls to the family. He's supposed to do like 18 months or something then go retire in Mexico with all his book deal and interview money.
The worst thing is is when he's with his friends drinking at a bar they probably chuckle at the outcome.
