Brooks | 658 A.2d 22 (1995) Some tragedies are blameless, others are the result of criminally reckless behavior. When a seller’s handling of a faulty heater results in three deaths, he faces manslaughter charges in State versus Brooks. Stephen Brooks owned a home with a heating system to melt the snow on his driveway. When Brooks ran an errand, Jill McDermott and her baby stayed home and became ill from the heater’s exhaust. Brooks took them to the hospital when he got home. Brooks consulted with two companies about the heater. Repairmen from both companies told Brooks not to use the heater until it was repaired. One repairman told Jill that the fumes contained carbon monoxide that could’ve killed her. Jill shared this information with Brooks. When Brooks didn’t repair the heater, another repairman told Brooks he was playing Russian roulette. Brooks put his house on the market. He told the real estate agent to run the heater only when showing it to potential buyers. Around this time, he asked a carpenter about fixing the heater, but the carpenter didn’t have the necessary experience. Linda and John Cifarelli bought the house. When Brooks demonstrated the heater, he didn’t disclose the problem to the Cifarellis. Brooks also didn’t reveal the problem to the inspector. The Cifarellis used the heater. Linda, John, and their young daughter died of carbon monoxide poisoning. A houseguest and the Cifarellis’ infant daughter were hospitalized. A jury convicted Brooks with three counts of involuntary manslaughter by reckless endangerment. Brooks moved for acquittal. The court denied his motion, and he appealed the denial and conviction to the Vermont Supreme Court. Want more details on this case?
