No Charges in Water Intoxication Death
Apr 2 10:31 PM US/EasternSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Prosecutors said Monday they will not file criminal charges in the death of a 28-year-old woman who participated in a radio station’s water-drinking contest.
The district attorney’s office said the behavior of staff at station KDND-FM did not rise to the level of criminal activity.
“There were no observable indications or symptoms that Jennifer Strange was experiencing a serious medical emergency which would have required station employees to seek or administer medical aid to her,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement.
Wow. Dare I say we may be ushering in an era of common sense? Okay, I wouldn’t go that far either, but this is definitely looking like a start in the right direction.
The jocks involved didn’t do anything criminal. If anything they were only guilty of trying to get ratings and do it in an outrageous way, but I don’t see how they can be held responsible for the death of Jennifer Strange. She was 28 years old and she should’ve known better.
They’ll probably still lose a wrongful death civil suit, but at least they aren’t going to be prosecuted as criminals because some idiot died on their show.
