His unlawful act was to “maliciously administer a noxious thing so as to endanger life” (s.23, OAPA). It doesn’t matter if the victim consented to Charlie injecting her with the drug, since every sober and reasonable person would have foreseen the risk of harm due to the use of heroin. Another possibility would be prosecuting him for gross negligence manslaughter, but I believe all elements of unlawful act manslaughter are satisfied.]]> 2020-06-03 16:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciaceleti/fsgbcmkmp6y96hg9/wish/609355153 andreceleti https://padlet.com/patriciaceleti/fsgbcmkmp6y96hg9/wish/609393821 I think Susie is not to blame. In legal terms, there is no criminal liability! Arnie's choice! ]]> 2020-06-03 17:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciaceleti/fsgbcmkmp6y96hg9/wish/609393821
