Kate Steinle's Killer Found Not Guilty

[popeyespappy]

Now that I know more about the case/trial, I think they got it right.

From what I've read, which is admittedly very little, I don't. According to the article I read asshole testified during the trial that he was shooting at a seal when he fired the round that killed Ms. Steinle. Intentionally discharging a firearm for that reason in that kind of place meets all three requirements for at least a conviction on a charge of criminally negligent homicide. Those requirements are an unjustifiable risk, an affirmative act, and causation.

There is the possibility that such a conviction may not have even been an option for the jury though. If that's the case then the prosecutor is guilty of criminal stupidity.
