What do you think of this law or charges?

  • accident injury compensation
  • charged particle
Six people were killed when a police car got involved in an accident while responding to a robbery at an intersection. So they say the robbery could be charged with murdering six people involved in the accident. Now this doesn't make any sense. What if an ambulance got involved in an accident and killed six people on the road. Just say the ambulance was rushing to someone's house to respond to a medical emergency, so would the patient be charged for murder?? The argument is because of the robbery, the police has to respond in a rush and six people were killed, this argument can also be said for a medical emergency and if people get killed, shouldn't it apply to ambulance too. If based on that logic, it should apply for both crime and for saving lives. They say the robber indirectly caused the accident, so that could also be said for the patient who had medical emergency and if the ambulance cause an accident that resulted in death.

Second point is emotional people(example the judge if he or she is emotional) even if the robber is not charged for the death, If that is the first time he rob, or maybe the robber is broke or whatever the reason he rob, to get money for his ailing mom or whatever reason, yes robbing is bad and is a crime, but sometimes people have no money and have no choice. I am sure the robber isn't really enjoying to rob people or at least most isn't. What if that is his first crime, the judge won't be lenient since an accident that took six lives, I think the judge should be INDEPENDENT of the accident and she what led to his/her crime, other factors like financial status of the guy, reason he rob and the judge's sympathy on the person's circumstances, if he repented and etc etc which the judgement should not be in anyway affected by the accident.


This is what the article states about the possibility of the robber being charged with murder which i think is ludricrious and ridiculous at best, i put in quote.


"Ohio law states that a defendant can be convicted of murder if he commits a violent crime that is a felony in the first or second degree and someone dies as a result of that act.


A Capital University Law School professor told 10 Investigates that Ohio is somewhat unique in this area of the law.


Most states allow a charge for "felony murder" if the criminal directly causes the victim to die, said Professor Jack Guttenberg.


Guttenberg said the robber could only be convicted if a jury decided the accident was a foreseeable consequence of the robbery."


And the article of this accident while the police was responding to the robbery.
