Even with manslaughter I believe they have to prove that either through direct or indirect actions you caused the death.
I think they should have probably convicted on the manslaughter charges but they can't really prove that she directly or indirectly caused the death.
I'm assuming that one of the board lawyers can tell me if I'm stupidly off base.
I do remember that there was a woman in Calgary who abandoned her babies to go partying and the babies starved to death, and she tossed the body away and she was charged with performing an indignity to a human body. But I don't remember if they tagged her with manslaughter.

I always thought that even circumstantial evidence was enough for manslaughter, but who knows.
