Gun kills 9 year old in Ft. Worth

[maverick2076]

IIRC, there is a seven day waiting period between when the crime occurs and when the person can be charged in cases of a ND resulting in a death.

This is only in the law for when the child got the gun and shot someone. In a case like this, they could arrest immediately. Given the circumstances, I am glad they showed some compassion and did not arrest yet, but they are probably going to. I base that on the statement that they are waiting for an official cause of death ruling from the ME.

OK. I knew we had talked about it in the CHL class. I just couldn't remeber all the details. Thanks for the clarification.

The Grand Jury has decided there is enough evidence to charge this guy with manslaughter. http://www.myfoxdfw.com/story/19010367/ ... ting-death" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Glad they have decided to get this moron off the streets. Only a few hundred thousand to go and life will once again be good in America.
