 <a href="http://www.inflowcontrol.com/logos/index.asp" rel="nofollow">Ray Ban Sunglasses Outlet</a> I m no lawyer, but it seems that a charge of INVOLUNTARY manslaughter would not require proof of criminal INTENT. However, the precipitating criminal action was trespassing, and it would seem that a review of the standard operating procedure within the film industry would be quite relevant, since the accused, by their own account, have been practitioners in the industry for 20 years. 
Some information needed:
1. Testimony of the lookouts who have not been publicly identified, but who were allegedly posted to alert the film crew. Who were they, where were they, what knowledge of railroad practice did they have, and how were they to communicate their warnings? Did they communicate any warnings? Also, if the crew had been assured that no trains were coming, why did the Production Company deem it necessary to post them in the first place?
2. ALL correspondence between the Production Company and CSX Transportation <a href="http://www.inflowcontrol.com/logos/kateSpadeWallet.html" rel="nofollow">Kate Spade Coupon</a> Co. needs to be entered into evidence. Also need testimony re. all verbal communication between them and CSX.
3. Rayonier Corp. Same as no. 2, specifically detailing the extent and limitations of the agreement to film on their property.
4. What was the role of the Locations staff? What were the communications between them and the Producers and Director?
5. What was the source of their obviously incorrect information about train frequency? If not CSX Transportation, then why not?
6. Who came up with <a href="http://www.inflowcontrol.com/logos/beatsByDreWireless.html" rel="nofollow">Beats By Dre Headphones</a> the idea that the crew would have 60 seconds warning, and how did they propose to clear the area safely in that time? Having recently retired from a career in railroad service, I can assure everybody that <a href="http://www.inflowcontrol.com/logos/fitflopSale.html" rel="nofollow">Fitflop Sale</a> NOBODY in the railroad industry would operate with such dangerously tight timing.
7. Why were no representatives of CSX Transportation Co. present?
8. Why was there no safety meeting, which I understand to be S. O. P. for a production such as this?
Even if the Producers and Director mistakenly believed their permission extended to the tracks and the bridge, it seems that their gross disregard for the industry s established safety standards, as well as ordinary COMMON SENSE, makes them culpable. I don t believe they  intended to kill anybody. I believe they simply thought it was OK to use the railroad as their private little playground.
So I don t think the charges are excessive. In fact, a strong case can be made for much more serious charges, and harsher penalties.
