breakfast, that was her opportunity to tell her new vegan roommate she is allergic to soy. shannon: that didn t happen. exhibit b, the roommate said i m definitely allergic to a few things so i immediately asked her what was in the food. i didn t mention my allergies. she says in a parenthetical come a huge mistake. so who s fault is it, david? very serious, like sarah said. my daughter is allergic to nuts, eggs. and she could have went into epileptic shock as well. very serious. the victim was put in the hospital for two days. this statute is about recklessness. it s not about purposeful or intentional. we actually just saw this in the verdict of kim potter, the police officer about the recklessness from a disregard for another that could result in injury or death. in this particular statute. it is the same. it is a reckless act. it is not intentional. it is a close call but i m on
