I don't know abt this. Makes sense but intuitions say 'no.' Reckless behaviour that cld have caused death & that which did treated equally?https://twitter.com/ScottTalling/status/792722893046177793 …

I still don't see that punishment for something that might have happened makes sense. If I push someone away...
@ScottTalling -
and they fall, crack skull and die, is this punished same as if they fall on couch? Same intent, to get away.
@ScottTalling -
Yet both could be considered assault by using physical force.
@ScottTalling -
Yes, if you were just trying to get away, I don't think fact that consequences differ shld determine sentence.
-
If you punch someone in anger & they a) crack head & die or b) land softly & have a sore nose, diff penalties?
-
I'd say 'yes, those consequences need to be paid for" but find it hard to justify other than intuitively.
