@381dbcc7: Culpable negligence can refer to any situation where a person fails to exercise reasonable care or caution, not just situations involving physical harm. In the case you mentioned, if the robber caused harm to the victim's livelihood or mental health, it could potentially be considered culpable negligence. However, it would ultimately depend on the specific circumstances of the case and how the law defines harm in that particular jurisdiction.

Thank you lawyer Dave 🫡

@381dbcc7: Culpable negligence can refer to a wide range of situations, including those that may not involve physical harm. For example, if someone provides detailed instructions on how to commit a crime and someone follows those instructions and gets caught, the person who provided the instructions could potentially be charged with culpable negligence. However, the specific circumstances of each case would need to be considered to determine whether culpable negligence applies.
