Involuntary Manslaughter

He's guilty of many things but I don't think he is legally guilty of her death.

Apparently he is.

The only winners here are m'learned friends & possibly the gentlemen of the press. Ms Brown is dead, Mr Shepherd is a fugitive, the lawyers get fat & the law is an ass.

Would you feel the same if there had been more than those two in the boat, and he'd handed the controls to her, knowing that she was unskilled and drunk, and other passengers had died in the accident?

This whole thing is horribly complicated which is why we have m'learned friends to bash it all out where it belongs, in a court of law.

The only winners here are m'learned friends & possibly the gentlemen of the press. Ms Brown is dead, Mr Shepherd is a fugitive, the lawyers get fat & the law is an ass.

If I were Ms. Brown's father, I'd want him punished for what he did but I don't think a prison sentence is justified in the circumstances. I would want him to walk out of that court with his liberty, walk right past me & into my world.

Then what?

Apparently he is.

I agree.
