that’s how I understand it as well.
can you give clarity that the instructions said something like if you find the defendant was negligent, but it did not go on to say you cannot convict on that...
the atty I listened to yesterday said that’s how it was written and it was very unclear; you cannot convict on negligence
If the law allows a legal act (tracking a thug) to become culpable negligence to prove manslaughter, then the law needs to be changed.
