How can humans be so disgusting?

Why did it change your mind?

This sort of stuff made me change my mind about wanting to join the Police.

other than medicine, homicide squad or drug squad is probably the only other job I think I would enjoy

[kendraaaaa]

Why did it change your mind?

At first when I read these sort of stories I tried not to think about the consequences too much. But then I met a couple of serving Police officers, who deal with homocides and the like. I won't go into too much detail, but the things they told me immediately made me forget about the Police. Which, makes me respect them even more because I know I could not deal with such things.

I reckon it was some kind of chemical or drug... they're doing toxicology tests now... ugh, imagine working as a police detective, how desensitized would you have to get? (and how much therapy once you retire?)

My mates sister works at the morgue... im not sure if its bullshit from him or not but they take bets on what the next cause of death will be.. i guess you gotta develop some black humour or a shell. Otherwise itd slowly destroy you.

I'm extremely happy they caught the bastard but I can't believe they managed to get what he was wearing at his hearing into the story how is that relevant to anything?

[slothpomba]

The whole thing is a bit strange... why didnt he just take him to the hospital?

Maybe he didn't know what to do. But he seems a bit disturbed/mentally challenged like when he said "The kid... The kid who cried"

[midas_touch]

It still makes no sense, hopefully more will come out in the next court hearing.

I think being a police diver would be the worst job. Diving in murky water which you cant see 10cm in front of you through and fondling for bodies.

I heard a story about a traffic police officer who showed up to the scene of a car crash... the drivers head was 20m from the car while the body was sitting upright in its seat. =/

Crime scene cleaner would be a shit job. There was actually a special on it on discovery channel yesterday or the day before. They were cleaning around this fat, bloody, dead guy who was face down, naked and lying just off a bike track.

Manslaughter by criminal negligence - death is caused by the accused's criminally negligent act or omission. Negligence is the failure to observe the standard of care which a "reasonable person" in the same situation would have observed. There must be a high probability that death/grievous bodily harm would follow from the negligent act, and you must have really, really fallen short of the normal standard of care. All in all it's a pretty strict standard which has to be proven for criminal liability.

... but I think chucking an unconscious little boy into the boot of a car, driving around for 3 hours (wtf?) and omitting to take him to the hospital will satisfy the test o.O

What a weirdo sick moronic dumbass. Hope he doesn't get off on mental impairment...

This sort of stuff makes me want to be a lawyer even more...

Criminal lawyers are the psychiatrists of the legal profession (i.e. lowest rung on the hierarchy, lowest paid, etc). Shame, it's such an interesting area.

Out of curiosity, which profession in the legal industry would be the most lucrative? Corporate lawyers? Judges?

[monokekie]

what the.. he was killed by his parents.

[physics]

:O poor child...

Yeah corporate lawyers - barristers to be exact. They can earn millions a year. Judges don't earn quite as much, but still in the 6-figure ballpark.

People on here seem to think $100k+ a year isnt much.
