If a child was clearly in distress and ends up drowning in front of you, can you be criminally responsible for it?<\/p>\n<p>The rule of thumb to consider here is if the individual had a pre-existing duty to the child, such as a parent, guardian, or lifeguard, Weisberg said. If there was some responsibility, then the individual could be culpable of a crime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If my omission to act is done when I&#8217;m conscious of what&#8217;s happening, I can be guilty even of homicide there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I culpably caused it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whether this would convince a grand jury in a trial, however, is another question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an argument that could be made,&#8221; Weisberg said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if it would win before a jury, but there&#8217;s doctrinal basis or it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
