Anthony,

We really don't know anything but what we read and see about this case. Only the people involved actually know the real facts. I agree with your statement about the correct thing to do is call 911, but what if the injured person is bleeding badly or there are other factors involved that would cause their death or worse injury by waiting until an emergency crew can respond? Then you would be liable for being sued for not helping. I also agree that many people panic and are not trained and that is another factor. There is just no way to have any law that can possibly cover every conceivable condition. That is why I hate the Words, Go By The Book. They can be used in many cases and as guidelines but can't possibly cover every situation.

Ron
