Australia: 65-year-old Roy Frederick Francis Bird has been charged with manslaughter over the death of his neighbour, 33-year-old Wayne Smith, after he fatally injured him with a 12-tonne excavator. The two had been feuding over a boundary dispute and that morning had been arguing over where to bury a dead cow. Bird swung the bucket and struck Smith who responded with stones, before being struck a second time, this time in the groin. Smith died in hospital from complications resulting from severe injuries to his bladder, pelvis, and groin. Bird has pleaded not guilty, possibly intending to plead accident or self defence. The trial continues in the Cairns Supreme Court. Source

:huh: self defense with a 12 ton excavater? I'd really like to see him try to do that....This is bizarre. Where does the dead cow come into the picture? Smith was only throwing stones and Bird hit him a second time. Methinks it's manslaughter for Bird. If I was the judge or jury the man wouldn't have a chance of pleading innocent. He used a machine to kill someone. Now if he was just fighting with his fists and stones then it would be a different situation. This reminds me of the Hatfields and McCoys scenerio. Geez why do people have to fight over land? |
