It shows again how the law has not caught up with technology. <i>Murder</i> is often pretty difficult to prove--but I'm not ready to give up on the notion that it does need to be proved before penalties are meted out. And it does seem, in this particular case, that there should be some comparable penalty for getting it wrong.
