It bothers me that the cops just had to charge her with something. I mean, he asked her to shoot him, she's a lousy shot, case closed. I cant see where she did anything she could be charged for any more that a pilot testing an airplane or a driver testing a new car. Stupid? Yes, illegal, no.

Fair enough.

Her problem is that he wasn't an airplane or a car.
She formed the intent to shoot a person, albeit without malice, and that's exactly what she did. It's stupidity, but it's criminal stupidity because she shot him knowing that there was a very good chance that he could be killed.
Shooting at person and killing him, when you know (or should know) that there's a very good chance he could be killed, is manslaughter because it's the negligent killing of a human being.
True. But you don't need specific intent to shoot a person to be guilty of manslaughter, otherwise known as a negligent killing.I would counter that the important thing, her 'INTENT' was not to shoot a person, but rather to shoot the vest, and "only as a test".
This^^^^^^^^^^^^^There are members of society that have no working knowledge of certain mechanical items, tools, firearms, or even how to change a tire. Therefore, to request that a person perform a particular task that they may be void of any knowledge of the task is asking for trouble. I blame the dead idiot more than the ignorant girl. A lot of girls will attempt to do things that they have no earthly clue about simply because someone they look up to asked them to do it, trusting that the idiot knows it's ok.
Their are many members in our society that know shit about anything. I really hate to see it when our older generation dies off. There won't be much common sense left!There are members of society that have no working knowledge of certain mechanical items, tools, firearms, or even how to change a tire.

Crash test dummy .............................. of course, that's always how we did the first run through! You know, it really makes you wonder?I'm with the watermelon theory. Why didn't they put the vest on something then shoot that, instead of shooting a real person...
