Working off one of the cases in your book, if a person takes a sleep medication prescribed by his doctor in accordance with the FDA and the person unknowingly drives while under the influence of the medication and accidentally kills someone while driving, do you charge the driver with vehicular homicide or another crime? If not, who is responsible for his actions (if anyone)? Does it matter that this had never happened in clinical trials of the drug?

You are a police officer investigating a fatal traffic accident. A driver of the car known to have problems with sticking accelerators hit another car at high speed but was not injured himself. What factors will you investigate to determine whether the driver should be charged criminally? Similarly, once all possible criminal charges are adjudicated, what factors will the victim's family assess when mulling over a civil lawsuit?
