Maybe the fact that she couldn't be expected to foresee the danger to those in the village hall/mirror maze even though her act was dangerous and unlawful.
It's quite a chain of events which led to Val's death in particular. |

That's pretty much what involuntary manslaughter is though, and there would be 3 charges of it

Irrespective of the legal side, common sense would show that it was ultimately an accident caused by her stupid but not planned actions. I doubt she'd get a prison sentence at all.

A factory owner in my local area just got 10 years because a machine caught an apprentice overalls and crashed him to death, manslaughter is when an accident causes death when someone is at fault. Of course she could not have forsaken what would happen but that is the difference between murder and manslaughter.
There are different degrees of manslaughter and this would count as involuntary, but with three counts of it, you would still be looking at a lengthy sentence. |

I hope she's not going!!! Louise Marwood might not exactly be oscar worthy bit she's improved dramatically of late, and I love Chrissie. This boards perfect time to bring in her little sister as a support, and expand the Whites, there need to be more of them to pad out Home Farm

I think Chrissie might get a suspended sentence, and endure dirty looks from the villagers for quite a while yet. Rakesh is bound to be involved in any trial.

As for chrissie, she didnt really have any intent to kill nor could she have possibly known that the helicopter would be overhead or that the gas canisters were there. Its nothing more than a freak accident but this day in age someone has to be culpable edit not sure I agree with your definition, the difference between murder and manslaughter is intent. |

I hope she doesn't get sent down. She was not to know what was going to happen. It was clearly an accident, its not like others in the village haven't be a cause of an accident!
If anybody is to blame, it Robert for without his affair she wouldn't have set fire to his car!! |

Chrissie is one of my favourite characters and I really like Louise but if they didn't want to write her out even for a few years they should have A had a different charcther responsible or B had them cover it up. I just think it's a complete cop out when they rely on "soap logic" to cover implausibility. Soaps get annoyed when they are not taken seriously but i don't think it's the acting that's the problem,often the acting is very capable it's the regularity in which they require us to use our suspension of disbelief that turns people away. If you have talented writers you don't always need big story's you can be entertained by the interaction between interesting characters, look at the royal family the whole success of the show was based on this and they only had 2 writers, surely when you have a full team of writers that are ever changing you can rely on something more than asking the audience to suspend disbelief so often. Apologies for long or if I offended anyone, I just think they should aspire to more than saying it's only a soap it doesn't need to be realistic because I think they need to have a level of realis. |

Robert didn't tell her go pull a "Waiting to Exhale", Chrissy is a grown ass woman with a mind of her own and is responsible for her own actions.
I'm glad there was no long drawn out cover up, and that Chrissie showed that she has a moral compass. She's a good person who made a tragic mistake, she has to live with the blood on her hands of those victims for the rest of her life, and for someone as highly strung as Chrissie, that's punishment enough if you ask me. |

At least she's taken responsibility and admitted her guilt, she clearly feels totally responsible and fully intends to accept her punishment.

We aren't talking about someone accidentally knocking a candle off a table into a pile of newspapers and starting a fire here. It was a "freak accident" caused by a deliberate and dangerous act of vandalism which was motivated by revenge. |

We could go on all night wrangling with the legalities of her actions but I'd say she's fairly safe. The character is rather popular and part of one the shows most important (if not tiny) families.
She'll get off on a technicality. I'd be surprised if she were actually sent down. |

Car + Petrol + lighter + gas canisters = explosion
explosion + nearby family homes + nearby road + nearby people (Chrissie, Robert) = bad, very bad what in the name of Christ did she think would happen if she set a car alight? I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't get a prison sentence, Adam did and that was a fire with no fatalities. But soap law decrees all prison sentences will be short, unless the character is leaving and I don't see Chrissie going just yet. |

But then she may be responsible for Ruby and the pilot getting killed but for Vals death surely Doug, Rodney and Eric are also all equally to be blamed for it?!
