Should he have been charged with manslaughter? A drunk fell off his bike and into a canal. A neb came past and saw the bike, so he nicked it. He admits that he saw the man in the water, but did not alert anybody about this. He sold the bike for 20 pounds.

The drunk may well have passed to that Great Alehouse In The Sky when the thief saw him, and four months for stealing a bike seems reasonable, but should there have been some enhancement for his behaviour? If not manslaughter, what else could he have been charged with?
