It's interesting that so many people are willing to let him off the hook because he is older. What if he made this "mistake" because he was younger instead?

What if he was a 16 year old mexican kid instead of an 86 year old man?

The kid would be charged with murder and people would be screaming for his head.

I feel horrible for what happened too, but you would think there would be some consistency in the way people are treated when they make "mistakes".
