“I cannot prove she consciously disregarded a tremendous risk to people on that field,” Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said Thursday.
He acknowledged the public might find his decision strange. Bennett’s 28-page report listed possible crimes that might be triggered when a person causes the death of another person but said none fit the soccer field tragedy under Kansas law.
“If I could charge somebody, why wouldn’t I?” Bennett said at a news conference. “But I also have an obligation to stand up and say, ‘It’s not here.’”
“I cannot prove she consciously disregarded a tremendous risk to people on that field,”
She consciously left the car running when she decided to take a nap in the driver’s seat. She should have been able to understand the risk of that, and she consciously chose to ignore it. She was in control of the vehicle, to the point she’d have been charged if she was drunk, even if the vehicle didn’t move, and, while this was an accident, it was directly due to her negligence. This smacks of someone knowing someone.
Does Kansas not have involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving, etc? A prosecutor saying the law isn’t there is really just a shit prosecutor.
Wreckless endangerment, negligence, etc there has to be something if you are in “control” of a vehicle right?
I fell asleep with a loaded gun in my hand and my finger on the trigger. The gun went off and killed someone when I sneezed. I’m totally innocent, right?
WTF
IT DEPENDS. You’re not guilty of murder. Whether you are guilty of any other crime of homicide depends on how the law is written. Unless someone here wants to quote the fucking laws, you’re all just monkeys flinging crap at something you don’t understand.
She had a duty to put vehicle into a safe modw, such as park, or off totally. And didn’t so she killed people. Falling asleep at the wheel. I think negligence applies. If they can give a drunk a DUI for being asleep in their car with keys out of the ignition, I’m sure a law applies here.
Reckless.
Steering a truck onto a soccer field seems like a wreck is very much involved.
Wrekt
Two dead kids.
Zero charges.
What the actual fuck?
The two people killed at the scene were Cole Adrian, 6, and Nicholas Schafer, 35
One dead kid, one dead adult, just fyi.
I mean, they let kids get shot at school more than once per month and sorta don’t care. It’s not even front page news. Like this dude probably just said, “I’m gonna run over those kids, and if there is a god he will save them.” And then god didn’t… but he believes again because god got him out of jail, no doubt.
Yeah but the lady who did this didn’t suicide herself at the end of it like a school shooter, which honestly, feels like kind of a lost opportunity for the species if we’re being honest.
There’s still time! 🥁
Well if I was the father of either child that fucking driver will have wish they been charged. I go Law Abiden Citizen on their ass. Actually fucking prosecutor should be drag from their office and made example of as well. Sick reading fucking articles of drivers killing people and no charges. Like Lugi should ran that CEO down with his car and he catch no charges.
This is fucking bullshit and if I was the parents I be in that fucking prosecutor face demanding answers.
You have a psychological issue that is going to cause you and your loved ones pain your entire life until you grow up and do something about it.
We’re talking about a scenario where your kid was killed. Your soul and family is already shattered and in unbelievable pain at that point, a pain that will never truly heal… I hope I am never in that position because I dont know what I would do
No. I’m talking about a guy sitting on a reddit clone FANTASIZING about having his child killed so he can indulge in his violence fantasies.
I dont think this guy can read.
America never had justice, now they don’t even have law.
