I can empathize that this sucks to go through because I haven't read anything to suggest she had murderous intent, but even accidents have consequences. There have to be penalties for setting up dangerous conditions to make sure that happens as rarely as possible. It's why charges like "involuntary manslaughter" exist.
While this was technically an accident, I put it in the same league as driving drunk and killing someone. It was preventable by doing the bare minimum of what her job responsibilities were.
I agree and that's why I finished by saying even these situations, where there's no intent, have to be prosecuted and punished. While I empathize with making mistakes (having made my own albeit none nearly so serious) I still think there's a good reason she's headed to prison.
It's "an accident" in the same way getting shit faced and going for a cross country drive and wrecking is "an accident".
She violated pretty much every safety regulation, and I believe was even getting drunk and shooting the prop guns on set with live bullets. She was definitely shooting them on set, I just don't know if they proved she was doing it while drunk.
A drunk driver doesn't mean to kill anyone either. But most don't say it was just an accident and try to emphasize with the irresponsible sociopath who got someone killed because they thought they knew more than the law.
She wasn't qualified to do a very specific job she was hired specifically to do. The people who hired her are also at fault, but her very actions and incompetence at her duties lead to a shooting and death. You don't just shrug and say oops, accidents happen if a certified electrician or utility worker messes up so badly they burn your house down.
