hi there,
I'm looking for some legal details for some fiction I'm
writing. Suppose a person witnesses a life-threatening
event such as an auto accident. The witness could easily,
and with little personal risk, have saved the life of the
accident victim. Instead, the witness decides not to help,
and as a result the victim dies. What, if anything, can
this bad samaritan be charged with? If the laws about this
differ by state, let's it takes place in California.

Any and all ideas, references, explanations are appreciated.
Thanks.
Tristan
