Re: UPDATE 2nd: 1-15-13

No you wouldn't. Reckless is a higher standard for prosecution to prove than negligence.

IANAL

Edited to add:
PC 6.03 (d)  "Criminal negligence" A person acts with criminal negligence, or is criminally negligent, with respect to circumstances surrounding his conduct or the result of his conduct when he ought to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances exist or the result will occur. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise under all the circumstances as viewed from the actor's standpoint.
