I take extremely good care of my teeth thank you.

EVERY dental experience I have had has led to either braces, surgery or tooth removal, and there was nothing that seriously wrong with my teeth to begin with. Never had a cavity, don't get gingivitis. Last time I went they said my jaw was STILL too small and that I might need more teeth taken out. Fuck that.

yeah, I think what PJ is saying
is that there's a grey area whereby you do something that is deliberate and almost totally certain to kill someone but you argue it wasn't your intention to kill them.

Legally it's going to be manslaughter as long as everyone believes it wasn't your intention to kill them. But even someone with the IQ of a red setter can see that setting fire to a house full of sleeping children is really likely to kill someone. So essentially they've escaped a murder charge because the CPS felt that they were stupid enough that a jury would give them the benefit of the doubt on that.
