As I indicated earlier, there needs to be some clarity on this term. By fixing the clarity on that, you would strengthen the bill. The words in Hamilton are “substantial unjustified risk”. If I were making a suggestion to the legislators, that would certainly be more explicit language that would be of assistance so there would be no doubt. If I put my other head on as a prosecutor, at the end of the day this bill has to actually work. We don't want to be spending our time in court basically fighting over the term “reckless”. That's why clarity is important.
