The relationship is that you keep insisting that for there to be homicide there must have been an illegal act prior to the killing.And I say that's not true. You can be acting carelessly or recklessly but not in any illegal way until the moment you kill someone, and then you've commited a crime because your prior actions were careless or reckless but not illegal. Another example, this one from real life. A nearly blind friend of mine was crossing with a walk sign. A driver of an SUV was making a turn and hit him. Until the fraction of a second before the collision, he did nothing wrong. It was only the failure to yield to a pedestrian when making a turn that was illegal, and it happened less than a second before the death. I think that was criminally negligent homicide, though the police did not arrest the driver. |
