Well, I don't know if for a fact. But the fact that he called 911, and the fire department left the scene after determining the fire was out, even though it was not, is likely to make getting a conviction on manslaughter charges difficult.

I don't see why. If he were driving recklessly and caused a crash and then called 911, it shouldn't make a difference imo.

Should get manslaughter charges. moo

Yet the ATF agent in the article I read, said that he did that as kinda an alibi type thing. To make it look like he couldn't possibly have started it because he was cooperative.
