EDIT: If you want to, let's take Li out of the equation. If this hypothetical scenario happened do you think the perpetrator should be held criminally responsible?

OK, how about an individual that suffers an unforeseen vagal episode while driving and passes out. When they are passed out their vehicle slams into a crowd killing 25 people (Polak likeed this number).


Do we punish this driver with life in jail or the death penalty?
