I don't see how they could possibly charge him with those deaths. The cars were in a situation that, although fast, were within the grasp of their respective controls. Two helicopter pilots far out of the way "reporting" on that car chase is far from the grasp of control of either the police OR the criminal.

Screw that criminal for putting everyone in that situation, anyway. I do NOT want him to "get away with it" because of a potential media backlash of questionable charges.

Anyway, my 2 cents

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Let me clarify my second paragraph: When an event such as this occurs, where questionable actions (on either side of the law) are taken, I don't want this criminal to go unpunished as a whole because of so much light being shone upon it. For instance: Rodney King. Now I'm not trying to start shit here about it, but he was a criminal. Led police on a high speed pursuit, under influence of pcp at the time, resisting arrest, etc. Not to mention him being on parole for armed robbery. I'm trying to remember more, but here's pretty much what happend: he was regarded as the innocent victim. I don't recall hearing about him doing much, if any, time for all that stuff he did. And he's such a nice guy still, getting arrested over and over. THAT'S what I mean by a sort of "media backlash".

Does that seem clearer?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
