Y'all better live with it.

[...Okay, we're going to get a cat apparently

And cat related things.

Also...

I know all that I’m mostly messing around right now, dad

[Oh

People who get in car wrecks in which one party is killed can be charged with second degree murder here

[Well

Negligence is a thing. You can be found guilty of something due to negligence. Or recklessness. 

Here, the definition of murder is:

229. Culpable homicide is murder

(a) where the person who causes the death of a human being

(i) means to cause his death, or

(ii) means to cause him bodily harm that he knows is likely to cause his death, and is reckless whether death ensues or not;

(b) where a person, meaning to cause death to a human being or meaning to cause him bodily harm that he knows is likely to cause his death, and being reckless whether death ensues or not, by accident or mistake causes death to another human being, notwithstanding that he does not mean to cause death or bodily harm to that human being; or

(c) where a person, for an unlawful object, does anything that he knows or ought to know is likely to cause death, and thereby causes death to a human being, notwithstanding that he desires to effect his object without causing death or bodily harm to any human being.

R.S., c. C-34, s. 212.

is canada even real

[Well

The point is that someone needs to be consciously aware pf what they're doing to be considered guilty.

If, say, someone had recently had a concussion, attacked someone, and was later proven to have no memory of the events as a result of the concussion

They would be found not guilty.

There was a case, even, of a man who was proven to sleepwalk, who drove to his in-laws house, and murdered them in his sleep. Upon waking up, he called the police, and when it went to court they found that it was possible, that he'd had a history of sleepwalking

oops.
