On the Skids. .Heliport. . Its an Analogy. I have nothing against the guy whatsoever..... .You can equate the two trials. The man was charged criminally and found not guilty. So was OJ....No Difference.. Again, Im not talking of all the particulars, only the fact that one was "Charged Criminally" and found "Not Guilty". .Nick also mentioned "Criminal Penalties" for "Honest Mistakes".. Its a way of life here. Look for example of DUI in the states. A few years ago it was but a simple fine, or worse if someone was killed......maybe, just maybe probation and a fine....Today Prosecutors are seeking the Death Penalty/Life without Parole for the same offense. . .As with most similar situations the "Civil Process" not the "Criminal Process" resolves most of it in the old fashioned way......Money.. .Dont get so uptight...its a discussion not a fight.
