Good, jem. That's precisely what the government's attorney would say at her trial. Now tell us, precisely, what her defense attorney will say to the jury. And then tell us what the jury is going to say. And then you'll understand why she wasn't prosecuted.
Also, jem, because of your law training you've learned to carefully parse words. I am confident then, that you know the differences between: 'can be,' 'should be,' might be,' and 'is,' and therefore I am also confident you read correctly: 'Lack of criminal intent can be a reason why successful prosecution is unlikely.'
As one of ET's great legal minds you'll know there are other aspects besides intent, one of which is damages. Life could be so much simpler were there only laws, lawyers and judges and no juries -- juries that never went to law school.
