Why didn't the Attorney General charge Mayor Nagin with negligent homicide? There was a plan in place to "use public buses, including school buses, to evacuate those who don't have private transportation." The Mayor skedaddled to Baton Rouge. The bus drivers skedaddled to wherever. The buses were submerged in water in their parking lots. And thousands of citizens drowned as a result.

Sure sounds like a few cases of negligent homicide to this country lawyer.

You are right sir, but there will be a “higher court” that will hear these cases although that doesn’t do much for us in the here and now on this earth...

[JoeSixPack1]

...charge Mayor Nagin with negligent homicide?

Absolutely! As soon as we find that perfect world. But today, the crazies, the corrupt, and the inept run half the show.

Kevorkian must be very jealous of her.

but to relieve unbearable pain.

What a mean thing to do...

[wagglebee]

Yes, it’s called MURDER.

[P-40]

Sure, if you discount their statements and decide their guilt from your comfy easy chair.

[wagglebee]

It comes down to intent, if they intended to end the patients life do you believe that it is murder?

[P-40]

Did you miss their statements?

The New Orleans district attorney's office had argued that Pou and her colleagues killed the patients with a "lethal cocktail" of narcotics and tranquilizers -- despite the fact that no toxicology results from the patients' bodies indicated their deaths had been homicides.

Without help coming to evacuate, no or limited electric, and VERY sick needy patients, what would have been the alternative? This doctor stayed at the hospital, which means leaving their own families, to administer aid to the patients under their care. It is easy to look at this situation from the comfort of your air conditioned home and judge the doctor but....what would you have done?

[wagglebee]

I would not have killed them.

[wagglebee]

Did you miss their statements?

Are you claiming that people accused of murder don't lie?

[P-40]

Are you claiming that people accused of murder don't lie?

Are you claiming you know the truth?

[rljv]

It’s unbelievable.

I have an image burned into my brain:

It was so obvious to me, a humble housewife - OK I was a military officer and also I grew up (pratically) on the LIE - however - There was that horrible Mayor Nagin with flunkies at his side saying “this is the big one” to the TV Press, instead of doing his job - and then . . . forward to the helicoptor camera shot of the highway - absolutely empty on one side; three lanes or so - noone driving on them (noone going into town)and standing-still traffic outbound three lanes, instead of NOPD or that dopey mayor closing everything off in favor of evacuees. Doh!

The ineptitude is criminal and obvious and he gets reelected not to mention he remains unaccountable.

Sigh and HUFF.

Don’t get me started.

[wagglebee]

That is beside the point, obviously the grand jury believed them. However, you still haven’t answered my question, if they INTENDED to cause death, do you consider that murder?

[P-40]

That is beside the point

The truth is beside the point?!?
