People v. TK

- This case was a negligent homicide of a baby, whom was killed by her falling into a pot of boiling water. The client was the owner of the building, whom had not properly maintained the property for the victim’s parents as tenants; thus, forcing the tenants to boil hot water and get snow from the outside to use water. The water “buffalo box” outside was frozen in winter, thereby, depriving the building of water. The baby allegedly fell into the pot of water. After trial, the court ruled, as argued by the defense, that there was no nexus/connection to Defendant’s alleged failure to properly maintain the building’s water supply, causing the death of the child; and further, that the State failed to prove the death was caused by any act of the Defendant. The Defendant was found Not Guilty and was totally exonerated.
