can you prove that they were spectating the race and not just walking down the street? What if they werent spectating the race, what if they heard a loud noise out in their neighborhood, went outside to see what the problem was and died.
What you do know is the facts. A person on a sidewalk is not illegal. A person illegally drag racing in the street is. A person witnessing an illegal act is not illegal. A person organizing the illegal act being witnessed is illegal.
Therefor those who you can PROVE 100% beyond any reasonable doubt were doing something illegal, are to blame. You cant prove that the spectator was spectating, but you can prove that the actions by those being charged with the crime directly led to the death of the victim and those actions are illegal.
Now arguing the morality of charging someone with murder while not being in attendance at the event is a whole different issue. Its just that our justice system relies on FACTS and not MORALITY.
