Efforts to explain when and why the state can legitimately impose retributive punishment on an actor who inadvertently creates an unjustified risk of causing death (and death results) typically rely on one of two theories. The prior-choice theory claims that retributive punishment for inadvertent lethal risk creation is justified if and only if the actor's inadvertence or ignorance was a but-for and proximate result of a prior culpable choice. The hypothetical-choice theory claims that retributive punishment for inadvertent lethal risk creation is justified if and only if the actor would have chosen to take the risk if he had been aware of it, even though he was not in fact aware of it. I argue that neither of these theories satisfactorily identifies when and why retributive punishment ...
Just over four years ago, Salvatore J. Culosi was gunned down by a Fairfax County, Va., SWAT team member who suspected the 37-year- old optometrist of wagering on football games. County officials insist that it was an accident when Officer Devall Bullock squeezed the trigger of his .45-caliber pistol, sending a bullet into the chest of the unarmed man. In 2007, the Culosi family sued Mr. Bullock and the county for financial and punitive damages related to the incident. On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit issued a technical decision that will allow the suit finally to go to trial, most likely in early summer.

SAN FRANCISCO - The involuntary manslaughter conviction of a white former transit officer in the death of an unarmed black man set the stage for a sentencing that could be just as explosive as the trial, depending on how the judge interprets the verdict. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry has a tremendous amount of discretion in handing down punishment Aug. 6 against Johannes Mehserle - anywhere from probation to 14 years.
Some people are thrilled with the sentence handed down to Dr. Conrad Murray on Tuesday for his role in the death of pop star Michael Jackson. Murray was convicted by a jury of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month and his four-year sentence was the maximum possible for his crime. Others complained that four years is not enough punishment for the man who fed prescription drugs to Jackson, drugs that contributed to his death; and still others might feel it's way too long a sentence for what was surely a non-malicious act by a physician working for a celebrity.
