-- The idea of a homicide charge in a case like that is ludicrous. --

The word "homicide" just means somebody died. The charge, "negligent homicide" is like manslaughter. FWIW, Florida law has a statutory entry of "excusable homicide," defining a homicide that is not a crime.

Slight correction (yes, I tend to be pedantic). “Homicide” doesn’t mean somebody died; it means somebody killed somebody.
