Geeze, I'm glad I don't live in Florida! It seems as though bicyclists and/or pedestrians are fair game down there if they're killed by a motor vehicle. Here's yet another case where criminal charges will NOT be laid against the drive of a vehicle that killed someone. This even though the driver drove his car through a red light.

I think that you may be getting into the area of what the state law
defines as a criminal act. Remember O.J. Simpson? Not convicted of any
criminal charge but was convicted of wrongful death.

He lost a suit in civil court where the standard for a

The thriller writer Len Deighton called LA the "Insane Ward". The trials of OJ are the perfect capsule demonstration of the truth of his observation.

He was acquitted because the evidence had passed through a
perjurer, Furman. It's not complex nor specific to California.

Whatever else he may be, OJ is still one of my favourite actors. His work in the hilarious Naked Gun series of films was inspired.
