Madeleine McCann

[JamesW]

Not sure exactly what you're talking about, but this is what you said:

"If you run somebody over in your car or give them the wrong dose then it's manslaughter, even if you didn't mean to kill them."

Emphasis on the "didn't mean to kill them".

This is causing death by dangerous driving, not manslaughter.

[JamesW]

"Actually if you deliberately ran your car into somebody in order to cause harm then it would be manslaughter."


Wrong again.

And this time it's an even bigger mistake.

If you delberately ran someone over and killed them it would be murder, not manslaughter.

[JamesW]

If you kill someone by running them over it's no different to shooting or stabbing them to death. It's murder.

I'm not sure why you find this hard to understand.

[JamesW]

If the driver did not intend to kill or cause grevious bodily harm, but killed someone by accident but as a result of their own dangerous driving, the charge would be causing death by dangerous driving.

If it was an accident - which is what you were talking about - the default charge is causing death by dangerous driving.

I hope that's clear.

To be manslaughter the incident would have to be clearly NOT an accident, but deliberately driving into someone, say with a view to damaging their car or perhaps shaking them up, but at the same time not intending to cause death or grevious bodily harm.

There's nothing to come clean about. End of story.

People like you rattle on about body language but you have no actual evidence and therefore nothing to back up any of your claims.

Until you can find some evidence, end of story.
