No, but the lawyer would go with the split second difference in speed may have made, to getting out of the way safely.
The bottom line is, access was deninied, it proved knowledge they were tresspassing. The bozo's took the risk, put lives at stake doing it....and lost.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. It sucks they are dead but bite a stick or something, lol.

Anyone see the news story about the kids who watched a guy drown, videoed him drowning as they laughed about it, then posted it online? I promise you they'll face some type of jury sooner or later, even though there's no law there that requires someone help another in such a case.
Not. Where? That's like negligent manslaughter isnt it?
I thought most states do have some type of negligence charge for complete inaction in an emergency. I know people folks in Mich have been successfully charged for similar inaction (??? Likely token sentences and probation after the win announcements in the news crediting the politicians and lawyers involved, lol)
Being a journalist won't get you a free pass for nonstop filming either.
The way I understood it, I didn't think you need to swim out, or even board a dock, but you had better stop filming and make an attempt for "official" help if you can do it without personal risk of life or limb (note property isn't included, if you can throw something around you in that floats, you gotta; who's stuff ain't in question then either, grab & toss.)
....then contunue filming assuming you can't do more to help.
Which is a "fine by me" law, it's the least You and I'd do anyhow; Id hope.
Do you think the Wizard could give these all these folks brains, and hearts, and the courage to use them? :dissapoint:
