Look on the bright side, California has just created a new definition of case law.
Garcia Zarate vs. The State of California: No person can reasonably be held accountable for the unlawful and unintentional discharge of a firearm that results in the death or serious injury to others. Proximity to others, location or city ordinances and laws banning the intentional or unintentional discharge of firearms is no longer a prosecutorial offense.
All those people who’ve been charged and convicted of killing or maiming someone while handling a firearm that discharged by: manual manipulation, dropping, twirling, caressing, showing off, playing with (loaded, unloaded, or condition unknown) or otherwise shooting one off into the sky...should have their conviction overturned and be set free immediately.
If there was no intent there cannot be a crime.
I’m certain the Ninth Circuit will uphold the decision of the jury against all appeals brought by the (Trump) DOJ.
Note: Even more troubling that you have to deep search the news for this story.
