But Ms Jeffress argued that would not be enough for prosecution in the United States. This kind of an accident had it occurred in the United States would not be prosecuted criminally, Ms Jeffress told BBC Radio. So in the United States these cases are only prosecuted where there is evidence of recklessness that rises to the level of close to intent, so drunk driving, distracted driving or a hit-and-run situation or excessive speeding. But there was none of that here. Legal analyst Paul Callan disputed the lawyer s assertion. I do not believe that attorney Amy Jeffress statement accurately describes US law, Mr Callan, a former New York City homicide prosecutor, told CNN.
