cop beats manslaughter rap

Officer Derek Carlile is a member of the IGOTD Hall Of Eternal Infamy, after leaving his .38 revolver in a car cup-holder with his unsupervised children. His three-year-old son promptly grabbed the gun and fatally shot Carlile’s seven-year-old daughter. TTAG has followed this sickening story from the very beginning. Carlile beat the rap for manslaughter in a criminal trial last year and the DA decided not to re-try the case. But now, some justice has finally been done to the perpetrator of this utterly avoidable tragedy . . .

for those who don't know, IGOTD is "irresponsible gun owner of the day".
I'm sorry, leaving a revolver in a cup holder like that is at the very least negligent homicide and just fucked up.

My bad, forgot the links
