He might have played some part in the death but it's important to remember he was charged with "causing or allowing the death", he has not been charged with murder or even manslaughter. Let's not sensationalise & overemotionalise things here.
And yes those things are called due process, it's the foundations of our justice sytem, and while I'm against the death penalty in all cases if it were to be implemented I'd like the offender to at least have his basic rights & dignity respected.
