Key legal question
Whether A. was guilty of negligent homicide by omission and violation of construction safety rules
Extracted holding
A. had a duty to act as guarantor, failed to secure the site despite knowing the danger, and his omissions were causally linked to the death.
Extracted reasoning
He had created or controlled the risk on the site, personally observed the unsafe opening, could not rely on delegation, and the victim's conduct did not interrupt causation.
