If a blind man and a sighted man are on a street corner, and the sighted man tells the blind man that no cars are coming and it is safe to cross, but actually a car is coming and the blind man gets run over, is that free speech or a crime?

@Pat The sighted man could be hard of hearing and may not hear the car, the car could be electric and make no sound.

I understand the question but there could be other factors taken in to account.

The sighted man could be delusional and believe that the car is a fake illusion created by a government conspiracy and that the blind man will be infected by nanobots if he steps back onto the curb. And the blind guy might be too gullible and not understand that the sighted guy is actually just a wacko.

Either way, the blind guy's dead.
