I still just don't understand why it's one charge....
I understand they didn't charge him with murder because they don't have proof of 'intent to kill', but what about the opposite?...what if you have proof that he had the chance to save him, he was able to save his life, but just...didn't. (The idea is the same as 'lying by omission') What's that? What category does it fall under? Does it not also count as murder? I mean, that's the very definition of second degree murder, right? I get that they didn't want to charge him with something so high that it would be hard to prove, but I would think - when faced with the facts - it would be quite easy to prove. I mean, that's *exactly* what it was...
I just don't understand.
