I recall a sad point to this case captured on surveillance video:

As Bob Lee was bleeding out, he went to driver for aid who ignored him and fled the scene. Shouldn't they be arrested and charged for failure to render aid? Perhaps he would've had a chance if he had arrived at a trauma ER but it's now an unknowable.




I don't think you have a duty to render aid, and it's hard to blame someone not wanting to get involved in a stabbing.


Not a legal requirement in this country.
