A friend, Freddie, serves as the starter. Freddie waves a flag and the two drivers accelerate. Over the top of the next hill, Carl, not seeing the two vehicles, pulls his tractor out onto the highway. Bob and Ray crest the hill, see the tractor, and swerve their cars.

Subsequently, the district attorney charges Ray with manslaughter (causing a death through recklessness) in the deaths of Bob and Carl. Ray may: A) not be convicted of any form of criminal homicide because Bob was responsible for his own death and Carl's own negligence produced Carl's death. B) be convicted of manslaughter under the law of parties even though Bob's conduct caused the deaths. C) not be convicted of any form of criminal homicide because Bob, not Ray, caused the deaths.
