There's a world of difference between taking calculated risks with your own health as an informed adult and blatant irresponsibility....

Bullshit..who draws the line.

I think the line between "Stupid fuck, he was an idiot and he killed himself" and "Irresponsible bastard, he was criminally careless and it resulted in the death of someone else is pretty clear. Why can't you see it?

A 1 year old kid was run over and killed in their driveway by his father last
weekend.
It's clearly careless causing death.
Should the father be charged?

Yes............if it was on the Highway he would so what is the difference.

Errrg .....What??? if he was driving on the road within the speed limit indicated, and someone leapt out in front of him , or decided to drop in behind the car, and you didnt see him, you would not be charged!!
i know , it happened to a friend of mine-- not his fault,,
and as far as
Mr D(ickhead) stop dribbling and do something useful,

I thought trying to educate you lot was something useful, but as ever 'tis a thankless task.

Its safe to say that when a four year old dies as a result of adult irresponsibility, that line has well and truely been crossed.

The jury felt sorry for him. It had nothing to do with guilt or innocence, right or wrong.

Going back to the scenario of Lou's, was the guy reversing or driving forward out the driveway? Is a driveway somewhere that small children might be playing? If so should you take more care than normal? Did the kid dart out from behind bushes or was it playing at the side of the driveway when the father began to move the car?

Too many assumptions and not enough facts, which is usual for this type of thread.

Bullshit..............jury doesnt base its decisions on their feelings. they come to a decision based on the facts put before them thats the whole point of a jury you penis.

I bet you'd be heaps happier if you yourself got to arrest, trial and sentence everyone you arrested..............wouldnt that just make a cops day

Precisely Smorgen, the operative word is supposed. In practice, most jurors make their judgements on anything but the facts....emotion, "he looked guilty", etc etc. Judging by the posts on this thread alone very few KBers can grasp the essential facts and these are people with enough intelligence to operate a computer, if not the ability to use the english language particularly effectively.

Having been in a jury trial, in which after the jury returned a not guilty verdict, the judge in summing up stated that he had no idea why the jury did not convict and thanked the officer in charge for preparing such a water tight case and presenting his evidence with pride and distiction, the defendant, who was clearly guilty walked free; I am therfore quite comfortable responding in like fashion to your first paragraph. Bullshit!

Juries do not always get it right. That is a fact.
