Or heck, even to George Zimmerman's murder of Trayvon Martin? Those involve malicious intent, and they get off, so I guess someone who "accidentally" discharges a firearm that kills someone is likewise not responsible for what happened.

And teens who show off driving a car and cause the death of other teens -- are you suggesting they should be exonerated? At what point does personal responsibility kick in?
