Sounds like finger on the trigger. Or, it wasn't an accident. Odd that the round "just so happened" to hit him in the chest.
that is a bogus law and charge..... do they also use the same law for hachets, hammers, axes, knives, rope, car, curtain cords,etc. that people have used to kill someone ?? I think that is one mentality we have to change. A gun is also what the police carry, so should all the police be arrested for "possessing an instrument of crime" ?
It's to possess with the intent to commit a crime .... which if they charged her with involuntary manslaughter, then they themselves have admitted she didn't possess it with the intent to commit a crime. One thing about DA's that I dislike, they pile on BS charges some times.
I'm not even sure, given what they think happened, that she should be charged with involuntary manslaughter..... because that involves some "negligent action". Not having the knowledge to do something properly, is not negligent action.
Either it occurred like they think .... and 'accidents happen' ..... no matter how bad it may be, or it didn't and was either criminally negligent, malicious, and / or with criminal intent (meant to kill him).
The "only" thing I can think of that they could be basing it on, is that she was drunk and handling a firearm, and arguing that was criminally negligent.
