As has been mentioned, the original article is highly misleading. There’s no suggestion that the proposed laws would apply to criminal cases. In addition, due care is a well-established standard in civil cases in the US. Suffice to say that no court could apply a due care standard to a case that involves reckless disregard for life or malice aforethought. In an age when we really need to commit to facts, this is disheartening.
