Oh Clyde,
For heavens sake. First you say it was an honet mistake and then you call it

Think of poor Lt. Demons who through an honest mistake steered the French
merchant vessel, SS Lotus, in such a way that it collided with a Turkish
vessel, killing several Turkish crew members. When the Lotus made port at
Constantinople, as it then was, Demons was arrested and charged with
involuntary manslaughter and found guilty.
I thought there were various forms of negligently caused injuries or death or
property damage or economic injuries that could be felonies. I said that
Cindy's act was a mistake. I did not say is was not negligent.
