DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
My understanding - based on nothing other than a New York Times write up on the trial - was that part of Carter's conviction hinged on the fact that she was aware that Roy was dying in a truck but took no action to alert emergency services. I'm not a lawyer but I gather that it can, in at least some jurisdictions, be illegal to stand by and do nothing when you know another person is at serious risk of dying. I was under the impression that it was also her failure to alert anyone, rather than just her convincing him to return to the truck, that resulted in the conviction.
