@Pat freedom of speech doesn't mean "as long as you are just speaking you are a saint", it means "if you are willing to express yourself publicly you should be allowed to do so". Intent is paramount when it comes to criminal law, if you as little as breath at someone with the specific intention to harm them and it directly or indirectly causes them harm, you are guilty. If we're talking severe harm like getting run over by a car, even without intent you can be charged for negligence.
@Pat yes and I can deal with it, I don't need to know everything and be right about everything all the time. A mofo guiding a blind person straight into a speeding car is obviously doing it with an intent, and yet he still has a right to try and defend himself in court. If it's much more vague and difficult, it will be discussed at length and a decision for the particular case will be made, as right as it can be, as wrong as it has to be.
