Fun Park Death

The manager of a park that had a ride malfunction, causing a thrill seeker to plummet to her death, was convicted of reckless homicide.
District Attorney Al Schmutzer said the verdict shows the community has no tolerance for "jeopardizing people's lives when they innocently get on these rides expecting to have just a thrill, not a death."

They found a scape goat to investigate and persecute. Not wrongfully. He and pertinent subordinates should be held responsible for possible maintenance errors that caused said problem. Even if the Manager did not keep the machinery in top notch condition despite the possible consequences to thrill-seekers, the woman made the choice to go on such a ride. Hopefully she had at least a sub-conconscious understanding of the potential dangers if something just happened to go wrong. Maybe she was just flagrantly naive. Who knows. But she's still at least partially responsible because of her choice. Being dead doesn't change that.
