I'm struggling to comprehend how a profeshunal can have a lesser sentence for a negligent discharge that kills a person than a deliberate decision that kills a person.
And in regards to liability, I'd see that self-admission of negligence as a means to strip the person of any qualified immunity or umbrella protection of a union's representation.
Then again, I've always struggled with the morality and logic of DUI laws. Deliberately kill a person with a weapon and for a defined reason, and it's Murder 1. But get drunk and kill someone while driving impaired, it's only manslaughter and pretty light sentence considering. Anywhere from 2-10 years, IIRC, and someone above mentioned a $10,000 fine. And get drunk and kill no one and drive all the way home only to get pulled over right before your driveway, you're looking at a $6000 fine here in AZ and like 6 months of jail time.
