PASADENA - Marcos Costa, who faced two counts of second degree murder for causing a crash that killed two people in April 2009 in La Canada Flintridge, was convicted of two lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter Friday afternoon. According to court officials, the jury went back and forth several times Friday but had remained deadlocked on lesser charges of "great bodily injury." Late Friday, the jury concluded that Costa, 46, of Maine was not guilty of murder but was guilty of lesser charges. The 10-person jury also convicted him of two counts of vehicular manslaughter and three counts of reckless driving causing injury.

The province of Quebec lacks a medical helicopter system, common in the United States and other parts of Canada, to airlift stricken patients to major trauma centers. Montreal's top head trauma doctor said that may have played a role in actress Natasha Richardson 's death. "Our system isn't set up for traumas and doesn't match what's available in other Canadian cities, let alone in the States," Tarek Razek, director of trauma services for the McGill University Health Centre . "A helicopter is obviously the fastest way to get from Point A to Point B." The closest hospital was about a 40-minute drive from her resort.

In addition to requiring subjective culpability, criminal offenses typically involve two objective features: action and harm. In the paradigmatic case, both features are present, but criminal law also allows for liability where either of them is absent. Rules governing omission liability enable punishment where the offender performs no act, while rules defining inchoate crimes (such as attempt) impose liability where the offender causes no harm. In different ways, these two sets of rules establish the minimum threshold of objective conduct-to use the classic term, the minimum actus reus-required for criminal liability. The absolute floor for a criminal actus reus, then, would be defined by the intersection of these two sets of rules. The prospect of liability for "inchoate omissions"-i...
