mitchermitcher Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 A man was having an argument with his wife. In anger, he took a gun and fired at his wife. The bullet missed and went out the window. At the exact moment their son was comitting suicide and had just jumped off the roof. At the exact moment his body passed the window, the bullet came and hit him. When the police came to investigate, they realised something. The son was dead. By a coincidence there was a truck full of soft vegetation just below the building and the son landed on it. The impact could not have killed him. So it was the bullet that killed him. The police interviewed the man. The man was adamant that he did not mean to kill anyone as he never loaded his gun all this while. The wife then admitted that she loaded the gun in the morning without telling anyone. So who actually killed the son? A) the son himself B) the father (man) C) the mother (wife) WHO DID IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~~ Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The father is direct violation of basic gun safety. Since the son died, we can't know for sure that he was actually trying to kill himself. Even if there was a note he could have subconsciously picked the spot where he would fall into the truck. Even if someone is trying to kill themselves, it's not legal to just shoot them. The mother, I don't know. Why did she put bullets in the gun? Her motives need unveiling before I can make a judgement on her. The father would likely be found guilty of manslaughter, although a murder charge is not completely out of the question, since he did seem to have malicious intent in that he tried to scare his wife with an empty gun. Obviously this is talking legally. From a more basic and realistic outlook, the whole thing was obviously an accident. Several people do things and it all results in something happening that none of them intended - where have we heard this one before?

~~~~ Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Not if he thought the gun was emptyWinter, what specifically do you mean by this? Gun safety demands that you check if a gun is loaded before pointing it at someone. Or preferably, just don't point a gun at someone and pull the trigger unless you intend for them to get shot... dur Accidentally killing someone because you were reckless would probably get you charged with manslaughter. However, pointing the gun at his wife and pulling the trigger could be taken as malice aforethought (as he was presumably trying to scare or threaten her, which is malicious), which means he could get charged with murder.

Chaosix Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 None of the above, it was the bullet that killed the son. Don't care who fired it, you said it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
