SPCA Exec kills a dog

From the AP:

An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.

… accidentally … Do you figure that excuse would work for you ?

The board of the SPCA says it still supports Starr, who has been CEO since 1997 and does not plan to resign. It was unclear whether she would be charged.

Well, what the fuck ? unclear ? Why is it ever unclear whether or not someone who obviously committed an offense will be charged ?
