    If we’re talking about an honest accident then how long do you think the jail term should be?

      If it were an honest accident then nothing. If it were due to neglect or lack of due diligence then maybe a few months of of weekend jail or month of full time jail.

      In the US that’s called “involuntary manslaughter” and presumably the sentences are shorter, but also still exist so people can’t throw up their hands and go “whoops! That was totes an accident” and get off scot-free.
