[QUOTE="shortshooter, post: 223748, member: 7359"] He must have a trial unless he waives this right to councel or trial. If this young man shot someone in town it would be murder. If he killed someone with a car, same thing. Just because he killed someone while participating in an hunting venture, doesn't excuse him from not standing trial or prosecution for negligent behavior which he admitted to. Having him stand trial is not a rush to judgement, but it is in fact a guarntee of his rights. It seems that he has admitted that he shot this lady. If this is true than he admitted and would easily be found guilty if in a jury trial. If indeed he shot this lady and he admitted, I think this young man should be punished under our legal system and given a taste of the gravity of the crime (so called) accident that he caused. Taking a life with no cause, motivation, or just reason is wrong and you always point that muzzle in a safe direction away from people. It's beyond me, with the equipment we all have how one can mistake an person for an animal. Hell, we spend $3000 on a scope and many thousands more on a rifle system in which we can hunt with out to 1500-2000 yds. We can see our animals with our binos and spotting scopes out to vast distances. We know the range, the humidity, the shot angle, the station pressure, time, day, year, spin drift and our birthday. Nothing is left to chance when a person takes a shot. It's deliberate and it has our intent when we launch a bullet. It's unacceptable with what we know to even point a weapon at someone direction because we know that it's capable of traveling for a long distance. [/QUOTE]
