ST Legal Question: A mother jaywalks across a 6-lane highway

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Sep 7 '12, 11:37

with her 4-year old son, who is struck by a drunk driver and killed.

Who's responsible for the homicide, the driver or the mother?

The driver should be responsible. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 11:58

    - It's really sad. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 11:41
If there's a reasonable expectation that the driver didn't have time to react safely, the mother. If the driver was distracted or speeding... -- nm - Max Sep 7, 11:38 2
- and of course I overlooked drunk. I'd put the blame on the driver but consider putting an endangerment charge on the mother. -- nm - Max Sep 7, 11:39

Let's split the blame, put them both in an 8x10 cell and throw away the keys. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 11:38

The Drunk Driver. He should not have been on the road in that condition -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 11:38
might be a case where they apply the % of guilt thingy I sometimes hear about maybe? -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 11:37
