So if I find someone dead on the side of the road and don't call 911 I can get charged with homicide? I call double bullshit on that. People cover up accidental deaths all the time and usually at most get charged with tampering with evidence, etc. Never homicide unless they are suspected of killing the person. Iregardless the state couldn't prove exactly when she died and therefore how can she be found guilty of anything? My daughter's keep telling me she should at least be found guilty of child neglect because her baby died. Well the state has not proved the baby died while she was watching her.
