IANAL but it seems to me that: i) it would not be weird to be tried for manslaughter; ii) it would not be weird to be found innocent/for the case to be dismissed. Generally people prefer not to experience (i) even if they can expect (ii). | ||

>i) it would not be weird to be tried for manslaughter; What's the point of prosecution in this case, assuming the circumstances were known in advance? Is it just "police/prosecutors are pigs and are out to oppress people at every opportunity"? | ||

In America, prosecutors will not bring charges unless they're certain they can convict or browbeat you into a plea deal. Unless you have money for a good lawyer (the spending of which is a punishment itself), you will likely face some sort of punishment. | ||
