Rotornut;
An interesting question, but one we can't answer - that's what a proper trial is for.
Sunfish;
I find your statement odd - you say you can't legislate safety, but why do we have governing bodies in all our countries issuing crew licences, operators' certificates, and auditing them all the time?
Also, you say "The cost of charging people with offences outside their immediate, direct and knowledgable control will simply be met by the public in the form of higher insurance costs,...", but insurance doesn't cover criminal acts.
