Find answers to your legal question.





If a pro wrestler were to accidentally kill someone, would it be seen as murder?

Say two wrestlers were, well, wrestling and one of them did like a bad take down or something and it killed the other wrestler, would he be charged with murder??

Because, even though the death was an accident they were hurting each other intentionally. So I was just wondering.

No. It would be no different than a boxer killing his opponent in a match.

One of the elements of murder is "criminal intent" Obviously this would not qualify so it would not be murder.

No, wrestlers know the risks, if someone die when they are wrestling, it's just that, an accident not murder

The cause of death would probably be listed as "Homicide - death by misadventure".

Translation - "killed by another person, without premeditation or intent" Similar to any other "staged fight scene". Sometimes, even with the best choreography, accidents happen.

The wrestler is no more likely to be charged with a crime than the stunt coordinator of a movie when a stuntman dies on the set.

In most cases it would be considered to be an accidental death.


Bruce
Taking a human life is either murder or homicide.

Murder requires intent to kill, not just intent to hurt.

Homicide requires recklessness or negligence. It would take more than a bad take down to establish negligence.
