Not sure of the details in the Texas case, but from a legal standpoint, you could have argued the guy lost control. Who wouldn't if they stumbled on something like that? If you lose control, you're not in the frame of mind where you fully know what you're doing so can't be found guilty in the legal system. The authorities probably would have argued that that's what happened from a legal standpoint, and therefore there was no crime.

Dude, no. Just because you “lose control” doesn’t mean you’re absolved of murder. If it were that easy, all the criminals would be using that one lol.
They try to use it all the time. It's called "Temporary Insanity."
You use the correct legal terminology. For some reason, these words slipped my mind.
The only important judge is God. God doesn't like it when you hurt children.
