Yes and no one is arguing you should not be brought to justice for being criminally responsible for someone's death even if that was not at all your intention. Just that the punishment should reflect the crime, it should not equate to murder. Thankfully we have the law of manslaughter which insures the punishment reflects the true seriousness of the crime as well as your danger to the public.
