I find myself siding with Maggie Horner in this case, even though her statement leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. She wants 'revenge' and feels that killing himself was not suffering enough for the man who let her son die through negligence. She doesn't want just compensation for her pain, but to somehow hurt someone else.
But I feel that Gary LeBlanc was negligent in several respects, and that he fully realized it, which is why he committed suicide. And I think Vincent deserves a conviction for failing to report a death, but a fairly light sentence.
But it is worrisome that the suit might set a bad precedent.
