Double News Chopper Crash: Suspect Guilty of Negligent Homicide?
So it you're living under a rock, two news helicopters collided in Phoenix, killing all 4 aboard, while covering a high speed chase. There is now talk of charging the suspect with negligent homicide in the deaths of the chopper crews.
Not sure how I feel about this. I'm leaning towards, "That's [censored] ridiculous," however, I can see the other side of it. Thoughts? |

The pilots must have been violating code by flying so close to each other. Can't blame the suspect for that.

I think your gut feeling was absolutely right. It's [censored] ridiculous. God help you if anyone slips and falls while the press is hunting you down for news.

If a newshound is chasing a drunken Lindsay Lohan crashes his car and dies, is she then guilty of negligent homicide in addition to DUI? Ridiculous. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think the claims are just the result of an overzealous prosecutor trying to extract value. Obviously, the precedent of convicting the driver of these charges would be so dramatically threatening to the legal system in our society that no judge would ever rule that it was his fault they crashed. |
