The prosecution thinks it meets the elements of the crime of involuntary manslaughter.
If I drive the getaway car after my friend robs a bank and kills somebody in the process, I get charged with and convicted for a crime even though I never pulled the trigger or entered the bank.
I know it's not the same, but I'm just giving an example of not having to have a direct roll in a crime and still be held liable.
Having said that, I think the prosecutor has an uphill battle.
Several things need to be looked at on how & if they go thru with prosecution, do they want to make an example of her........there are people sitting in jails all across the country doing 10 years just for introducing someone to a connect for drugs, etc.......if they wanna make an example of her, they can throw the book at her while creating a new law in the process.
No one said life is fair......we live in a screwed up world with screwed up politicians that make screwed up laws.
I have to find the link, but a child was suspended from school for making the symbol of a gun with his hand Luke we used to as kids, & said bang bang........kid & his parents have to go to counseling I believe, lmao.......our world is off its rocker when we think that child that made that hand gesture is a danger to other kids & to the community.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If I was a prosecuter I would probably be licking my chops to try this case because of the precedence it could set for future cases like this. It would be a nice feather in their cap if they won. I'm betting it will be the defense asking for any plea deal.
These were your words from your above posted scenario:
"but I'm just giving an example of not having to have a direct roll in a crime and still be held liable."
Now, how is driving a getaway car during the commission of a felony not having a direct role in the commission of a crime? Can you explain what you mean?
I mean, I get why a getaway driver is always charged as well when a felony is committed. Totally get it.
This girl is a psycho but she did not participate in the commission of a felony. I mean, the boy didn't even commit a crime. She's getting charged when absolutely no crime has been committed.
Again with you...the first seven words of what you said don't matter when the next line is just fucking absurd and make no sense.
Let me recap for you. You said "but I'm just giving an example of not having to have a direct role in a crime and still be held liable." How can a guy driving a getaway car during the commission of a felony not be considered having a direct role in that felony?This is what you said, I didn't. Can you explain for us?
