How can these guys who designed this slide be charged with Murder?At most they could be charged with Manslaughter because it was an accidental death.

This should be tried in civil court.Not a criminal court.

Seems that the Prosecutor is placating a politician instead of doing his duty impartially.

Criminal negligence that results in someone's injury or death does sort of step over to the criminal law side - but I assume that Texas has automatic "lesser included charges" that the jurors can select. It's really tough to prove intent in cases like this, particularly with regard to design rather than the operators "bending the rules" and allowing under-sized riders and so on.

I heard earlier today he was charged with Manslaughter. I agree with you on civil court.

Has this been studied to examine a flaw in the construction? Did the park cover up some flaws? Was it just a fluke? (Hard-pressed to think that)

I think a big perk of being a parent is being able to a water park as an adult!! Planned my kids vaca around water parks.

They gotta be safe but murder?? Park owner with cash passing the buck to a political critter to help him out? I vote yes.
