Yes, this is why he is being charged. He needs to be held accountable for his actions.Colorblind or not, SA still took a terrible chance with Chloe's safety to place her where he did. And she died over "knocking on the glass"? Really? He NEEDED to knock on this cruise ship window? This case stinks out loud.
It only took a moment, but his decision to put her up in the window cost the child and the family her life.
It's like any other case where someone's actions unintentionally cause death.
When someone decides to speed around a sharp curve in their car, loses control, and as a result they have an accident and their passenger ends up dead, they are responsible.
I don't think it matters if he was not impaired, although it would be worse if he was. It was just those few moments where he made the decision to lift her up and hold her to the window that ended the child's life and changed their lives forever.
People don't usually "get over" the death of a child. They just learn to live with it. To some people that is worse than doing any time in prison.
