Summary
Accidental killing can still result in criminal liability, as seen in cases like R v. Lamb (1967) and R v. Adomako (1994). In R v. Lamb, the defendant was found guilty of unlawful act manslaughter due to the dangerous nature of the act, despite the lack of intent to kill. R v. Adomako involved gross negligence manslaughter, highlighting the importance of duty of care. Understanding these cases can provide insight into how accidental actions can lead to legal consequences.Full Conversation
