That is the problem there. Proving that she had covid and knew about it is the problem.

I have learned that nothing good in life comes from anger and that...word.
There is just no answer for people like that.

Sincere and humble thanks. I feel the course correction wash over me. So hard sometimes.

There are a couple of possible avenues to deal with situations like this. On the criminal side, homicide, its definitions, and penalties are state level decisions. In a situation like the above, the victim should contact their local prosecutor's office and demand they do something. Maybe their legal system can address it, maybe it can't. Prosecutors also have substantial discretion in filing charges. If the DA declines to file charges, there is not a whole lot a victim can do. They can raise hell and hope public pressure can be brought to bear on he DA. That may work - it may not. The other route is the civil side. For a supervisor to show up at work knowing they are infected would probably be defined as "grossly negligent." The statement she made about "everyone needs to get it," implies that she see herself as an active agent pursuing that goal. That makes the action willful, and all the more egregious. The woman who experienced the disease and loss appears to have suffered substantial damages. So, it sounds like she has a cause of action to file a civil suit. There are a few problems with that approach. First is the law in her state. Second, she will need to find a lawyer who will take the case. Unless the victim is well off enough to pay the attorney's fees the lawyer will need to be willing to take the case either pro bono or on a contingent fee basis. Unless there is the potential for a sizeable judgement against the defendant, the contingent fee approach will be a hard sell. I can in no way guess what the probability of any of that is. And finally the plaintiff must prove their case and convince the jury (or judge) to return enough damages to hurt the defendant. Another problem with the civil route is all it can offer the injured party is money damages. For many, the idea of taking money as compensation for a terrible personal loss is unthinkable. But, it is all the system can do. Finally, there is the resort to interpersonal violence. I would never condone that avenue, but I can understand its attraction.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.liv...-pregnant.html I’m aware of STD cases that won, but not COVID. Again, hard to prove. This happened at work too, and there seems to be a lot of states that have set up protections that may protect the business and the employees from litigation. I think a competent lawyer would be able to easily create doubt, even in this seemingly obvious example. https://kgdfloridalaw.com/can-you-su...u-coronavirus/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pew...rrived%3famp=1

I will never serve on a jury because there's enough public information about me to show that I clearly understand the difference between reasonable and any. That's the sad truth about the U.S. justice system.

In that case, the jury can overlook a piece of evidence that qualified as reasonable doubt, and consider that there were 15 other pieces of evidence pointing at the defendant.

As we saw in the famous "McDonalds Coffee Case" (Liebeck v. McDonalds) and Pennzoil v. Texaco, a pissed off jury can make life quite uncomfortable for an arrogant defendant and make a good plaintiff's lawyer V E R Y wealthy.

Judges can "instruct" juries all they want but once the door closes in that deliberation room, it's on.

JFC I avoid this thread for a few days due to being distracted with one more relevant to me, and then I see a post about a stillborn child. O_o
I will openly admit when I see posts like that, especially with the emojis I get suspicious as I would just make it more dry and to the point. But that's me. Regardless, if that is a real situation, it's a pretty fucked up one. Beyond the immediate desire to find a new employer asap, I'm not sure what else to do.
