Alright folks, this ones for my buddy. <br /> <br />Murder one is what the death penalty is prescribed for. Pre meditated murder. <br /> <br />Now, did this lunatic actually plan for a passenger train to hit his car, or was that part of the episode merely an 'accident'?...[}:)] <br /> <br />That is a question we need an answer to, before the death penalty can be applied. (IMO) <br /> <br />True, True, he did plan to put his vehicle on the tracks where SOME train would hit it, but how often do you hear about a train hitting a regular passenger vehicle, where there is a fatality on the train? <br /> <br />For the perpetrator to be thinking about his measly vehicle to be killing somone on the train,...well the guy would have to be crazy... So we run into the insanity defense...[:X][:X][:X] <br /> <br />I think the guy was just stupid, and wanted to see his car get crushed like a penny on the track by some big SD70-mac, and was therefore criminally negligent for failing to properly understand the full consequences of his actions, and therefor is guilty of second degree murder, because his actions UNINTENTIONALLY caused death to unforseen bystanders... <br /> <br />Sorta like if a railroad fails to maintain it's tracks, there is a derailment that kills several people in trackside houses....the railroad INTENTIONALLY sent a train through there, and although perhaps was not intentionally causing the poorly maintained track to fall apart....but the track did, nonetheless, and deaths resulted,from it and the rail road was solely responsible for that...so do we line up the President and CEO of the railroad for murder 1? After all he SHOULDA known the consequences of sending a train through improperly maintained track right? <br /> <br />What do you think Kevin? this one's for you... [8)][8)]
