Question

Frank is a skilled carpenter with an excellent safety record and a reputation as a sober and conscientious worker. One day he is working on a job involving the building of an office complex. He is on scaffolding about one hundred feet in the air. It is standard safety practice to secure your toolbox on high scaffolding to avoid dropping anything on people below. Frank is about to do this when he is distracted by a question from a foreman and simply forgets. Sometime later he accidentally kicks the toolbox off the scaffold, and it falls on the head of Jacobs, killing him. If Frank is charged with a crime at common law what would be the most likely charge? (This is under the general common law and NOT Ohio law.) Aggravated Murder Murder Reckless Homicide. Negligent Homicide.
