Bestival Death: Ceon Broughton Jailed For Manslaughter
//A man who gave his girlfriend drugs at a festival and filmed her as she died has been jailed for her manslaughter.
Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of Holby City actor John Michie, was found dead in woodland near the Bestival site in Dorset after taking the drug 2CP.
Ceon Broughton has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison.//

She was clearly a fool to take the drugs, but him filming her as she died ….what a creature! Is eight and a half years an appropriate sentence?

No it isnt!! theres a very thin line between murder and manslaughter;
"Second-degree murder: any intentional murder with malice aforethought, but is not premeditated or planned in advance. ... All three crimes above feature an intent to kill, whereas involuntary manslaughter is "unintentional", because the killer did not intend for a death to result from their intentional actions."
The intent was there, he watched her die and never called for help even though the first aid tent was close by!

It's not a matter of the circumstances as they are, but the intention, and if that intention can be proven in law beyond a reasonable doubt - and clearly this was not the case.
Knowing something is one thing - proving it in court is another.

PP, does this give you a clue? // A man who gave his girlfriend drugs at a festival and filmed her as she died has been jailed for her manslaughter // I think you are out of order on this thread tbh.
Big case on manslaughter - anyone got the ref ? where the conviction turned on whether the drug fiend has injected the dead man or whether he had done it himself. Binary - given by someone - manslaughter and gave it himself - not guity
and - - here we have the fella gave the girl an oral ( that means 'by mouth') drug so she might easily taken it herself. And if she self administered - then why is he responsible since there is no duty to assist in a passerby?
I think they were lucky get conviction..... - when there are deaths in a dossers den - you dont imprison all the other druggies saying you should have helped .....

From the link:-
'The jury was told the couple liked to film each other when they were taking drugs.'
Sounds like a regular occurrence except this time it went wrong.
Proving that he knew what the outcome would be, despite him being more concerned with breaching a previous order,was less clear cut.
