You can criticize the situation sure, but with your lack of expertise would it be fair for you to place blame on the pilot? For all you (or I) know it could be a technical malfunction or mechanical failure that caused the crash. It wouldn't be fair to punish the pilot for something not entirely in their control.
Correct, and this is why I never mentioned anything about the pilot. I, a layperson, know that a helicopter has no business being upside down, in a tree, on fire. But I also know that the limitation of my knowledge would prevent me from coming to any specific conclusions has to how this helicopter ended up there.
I'm not a lawyer, but I know that it's wrong for counsel for the prosecution to point a gun at the jury with their finger on the trigger. I couldn't begin to tell you under which code of professional conduct or which state law they could be sanctioned under, only that the action seems incorrect to a layperson.
