frustratedpilotA House Under "Quarantine" Because of a Meth Lab Explodes, Killing The Occupant.
The woman who had the meth lab is already in custody. The house had been in "lockdown" for three months, since her arrest. The man who died was the owner of the property, who possibly ignored the "lockdown".
Would you add an Involuntary Manslaughter charge to the woman's case, or place a Wrongful Death charge against the local government for not doing enough to protect the public from the hazards at the lab site? Who's responsible? Both? Neither?
