Manslaughtering Little Boys
Reading a case in crim about a little boy who was beaten by two adults and then died after they refused to take him to the hospital until it was too late. The case became a contest of medical experts, each defendant trying to prove that the other’s beating was the cause of the death. You can only be found guilty of manslaughter if your vicious punch to the abdomen caused his internal bleeding. If all your vicious punch did was badly bruise him, you’re just guilty of being a horrific, pathetic mess of a human being (and maybe assault in the second degree.)
Oh man. This crap is not easy to read. He was 6 in 1984, making him my age. Lord help me if I have to read about a 1-1/2 year old boy.
I hope she doesn’t call on me in class for this one.
