Seeing the news today, seems the hunting accident became a little more serious. The lawyer had some birdshot either hit his heart, or flow to his heart casuing a heart attack. I dont know how Texans deal with the law out there, but in Michigan, this would definatly get one locked up.

No it wouldn’t. It would be handled as a hunting accident, and that’s it. Unless a Michigan game protector determined that the shooting was the result of some unlawful action — and negligence could be construed as unlawful — there would be no arrest.

Well, if the police (or Foresty service) where able to investigate the situation without being turned away, I’d agree with ya… But the 24 hour delay, and lack of due process being deliverd in that time frame makes a tax payer wonder… In my neck of the woods, it’s considered negligence until proven innocent.. 99% of the time, anyone involved in something similar whould be hauled in, maybe not handcuffed, but not by their choice either hauled into the pen…

I was involved in an accidental shooting back when I was 17.. Nobody injured, involved a hole in a pickup in the field, and I got stuck doing time.. And if you seen how minor it was, and being in my shoes, after the fines, It would make you wonder why someone famous is able to walk…. Laws are laws.. I respect them, follow them, and feel others should do the same…
