Regardless of
where you stand on the question of whether there should be criminal prosecution in these cases (you can read my thoughts on this here), any Maryland
accident lawyer will tell you that this question is of little consequence to the family's wrongful death lawsuit because there is little difference to the
accident case whether the conviction is for
vehicular manslaughter or for the ticket that this P.G. County police officer did receive in this case (assuming the ticket is involves something beyond speeding).
