Legally, or morally?

Maybe neither?

IDK. I'm not going to start a philosophical debate here. Just asking for you to clarify.

fair. I was talking legally but morally is a whole other thing

Agreed. I won't get into it, since the trolley problem has taught me that there's a lot of opinions on it, which makes it seem relevant, but there's nearly zero consensus on what the correct analysis of the situation is. At the end of the day, the dilemma is a near impossibility.

The courts have made up their mind on it and that's all I'm going to concern myself with for the moment.
