Default Re: Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

I totally agree with Verne,I do not think Vehicular Manslaughter charges apply in this incident.Certainly the driver feels terrible enough and I am certain as Verne says the poor Driver and all associated with this event will have many regrets for many many years to come.They all will be in and out of court many times.But I don't think criminal charges apply.Now if the driver had been drinking,etc then that would be different of course.But I feel in all honesty the promoters and driver just thought they were giving the crowd a thrill and not realizing the danger involved,and certainly never thought anyone would get hurt from the stunt.Of course I am no attorney and certainly do not know the ins and outs of the law but that is just my opinion!Now If there was a law against STUPIDITY then these involved should be charged with FIRST DEGREE STUPIDITY!
