Trump's Niece Says He Should Be Charged With Negligent Homicide Over His Mishandling of Coronavirus

[SouthernCal_Dem]

President Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump said that her uncle should be charged with “negligent homicide” due to his mishandling of the coronavirus during an interview with Dean Obeidallah on his SiriusXM show on Tuesday.

“If you have it in your power to save somebody’s life but stand by and do nothing, isn’t that negligent homicide or something like that?” Mary Trump asked.

She questioned how the president got away with withholding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from certain blue states as a way to retaliate against Democratic governors — asking again how it wasn’t considered a crime.

1. Some of us have been saying that, too

[SunSeeker]

22. +1

[Kingofalldems]

2. Kick this one.

[alwaysinasnit]

3. I think negligent homicide is too kind a description. I think depraved heart is more accurate.

Second degree murder characterized by depraved indifference is when a person ignores the probability that death will occur as a result of their actions. Second degree murder by reason of depraved indifference is generally committed by individuals with sociopathic and narcissistic tendencies who see the rights and status of other people as inferior to the killer’s own existence.

6. This one works for me. nt

[llashram]

20. this

[Cha]

24. yeah, it's much more like Deliberate Homicide.

[soldierant]

25. Assuming that the jurisdiction which would be bringing the charges

has a statute to that effect, it would nedeed be more accurate

Unless the prosecutor in that jurisdiction knows for a fact that conviction would be impossible, and even then, if the jury would be allowed to fall back on negligence as a lesser included offense, I'd say go for it.

4. I'm so deeply grateful to this woman for telling her story and then

having the courage to tell it again, and augment it, on camera and in print interviews.

[pandr32]

5. I agree with her

[Disaffected]

7. She is too kind:

Crimes against humanity would be closer to the mark. Especially if children in cages is added to the indictment...

[Under The Radar]

8. Qualified immunity saves him.

[tinrobot]

11. Kushner has no immunity. Charge him.

[maddiemom]

18. Yes! Don't forget Jared's liability.

[vapor2]

9. REPUBLICANS COULD AND SHOULD HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE

but they are complicit. Yes, Crimes against humanity and Glen Kirshner says Involuntary Manslaughter.

[dchill]

21. It's anything BUT involuntary.

Malice aforethought. Depraved indifference.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

10. I completely agree with this

Second degree murder for each count - and in state courts.
With Kushner too.

Foreseeable reckless disregard with a corrupt intent.

[erronis]

12. I'd add conspiracy to commit murder or genocide. I'd also hold the repuglicon establishment

responsible.

Just my $0.19666 worth.

[handmade34]

13. depraved indifference

to human life (it is what it is) trump and every republican who supports him (accomplices) should be charged

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. I'll say it again!!!! Ad: trump withholding PPE and trashing blue states

Ending with: you really want THIS MAN in charge of a vaccine that could save your loved one's life?

[relayerbob]

15. Absolutely, along with ...

a bunch of governors

[IronLionZion]

16. 160,000 Americans died of winning

[Blecht]

17. So do I

I say this every day.

The fucker is guilty of negligent homicide. It will several hundred thousand cases before this is all over.

[Illumination]

19. Absolutely! Like I've said: Are there bounties also on the American people to satify Putin?

[SunSeeker]

23. K & R

[JokeHer]

26. I want to see him in jail!

One of many many things he should be charged with!

Lock him up Lock him up!!!

[cstanleytech]

27. A number of Republican politicians like Kemp should be as well imo.

[love_katz]

28. Huge kick and rec.

30. Charging trump with negligent homicide

There was, and is, nothing negligent about Drumph's actions
regarding COVID, especially in light of the heightened duty of
being, you know, the POTUS. His willful refusal to acknowledge the science,
as well as the fact that every single thing he has done has made
it worse demonstrates a state of mind that is far more than negligent.
At the very least this fits the definition of acts undertaken with a
"willful and wanton disregard of known risk to human life".
That is the standard definition of second-degree murder, and that
is what he and his enablers should be charged with.
