Quote: Indulge me for a moment while I play devil's advocate....
Why does the law and or courts view a spectator's death at a street race any differently than they do at a sanctioned NHRA event?
Everybody that's there knows there's risk involved. Everybody that's there is doing so of their own free will. One venue was "free" for the spectators while the other charged a fee to enter. Why is the driver of an NHRA race car not charged with murder if a spectator is killed?
Because a NHRA race is LEGAL.
The spectators at an illegal street race are involved in an illegal activity by being there and know the risks, they are not innocent bystanders or at a venue where safety measures hae been taken to prevent injuries.
