To summurise it all up it is not anyones fault, i mean the cab driver did what he is Authorized and mean't to do and that is drop the guy off and the guy who got dropped off probably didn't know his wife was gone and probably had to take important Meds. i mean i guess death played apart of this roll? am i right?
So this idiot didn't think "hey maybe I'll call my wife" or "I'll ask my neighbor for help" I mean if this guy was so stupid that he died in 11 hours I really think he got what was coming to him. I don't care if that's mean, but let's be honest the guy was dumb enough to die from waiting. If anyone should be changed with those fines it's the wife she was the caretaker, so more or less it was her responsibility to let him in. Also everybody should have a hidden spare key.

There may have been other circumstances that prevented him from calling someone (perhaps his phone wasn't on him)
I don't really want to get into who's fault it really is and all that because it really is circumstantial, but I do want to say it isn't the taxi driver's fault. You pick someone off and drive them to their location. If they don't request that he stay and make sure x happens, then he can simply go and find another fare. That's how taxis work. He was simply making a routine run. Just because the man died after he left the taxi doesn't mean it's the taxi's fault.

This is something I see as completely wrong though that has happened to someone I know and have spent some time with and his family. I'll give some backround to what I know about him and what happened.
He is an Egyptian immigrant who moved here(U.S) with his family on a VISA. They have been living here for a few years and most of them work for the taxi company "Yellow Cab". My mother met them shortly after starting to work as a taxi driver. The Egyptian man who was arrested is about 60 years old. He was recently arrested and is being charged for neglectful manslaughter.
About six months ago, he was given a fare to pick someone up and drop them off. He drives a taxi cab (bigger van) that allows for people in wheelchairs to get in the car. The man that he is charged for manslaughtering was a guy in a wheelchair. As a taxi driver you take someone where they need to go, and drop them off. You only wait around if they ask you to. If they don't, you leave and hopefully try and get another fare. He dropped this man off at his house, who then later comes to find out died that night because his wife wasn't home to let him in. His wife didn't come home for 11 hours since he had been dropped off and when she got home she found him dead outside, next to the front door. Because of this, they are charging the taxi driver for manslaughter and set his bail to $100,000 because someone he dropped off died because no one was there to let him in the house. Is this right or wrong?
Is this neglectful manslaughter? If so from the taxi driver? The wife that wasn't home to let her husband in for 11 hours? The man who died waiting outside because he didn't have keys to his own house? Anyone at fault? Everyone in his family is completely shocked and has no clue what to do about it. Let me know what you think please and why.
tldr; read less
First of, taxi driver is not a great job. It's not inspirational, it's not of enough value to me. I won't work as a taxi driver. Thank you.
Why is he working as a taxi driver at 60? Where's progress?
1)WTF wheelchair guy doesn't use a cellphone?
2)WTF he's shy, he couldn't ask people around him for a cellphone?
3)dude your story doesn't hold up, unless the dead gentleman dude is a hillbilly w/o a phone who lives in very rural area.
it is not the taxi drivers fault, he probably would have died if he was inside or not. 11 hours wont kill anyone. sounds like a racial/culture prejudice by the judge or whatever
