No one says "He got killed by a car" — you're always <em>killed in a car accident</em>. Maybe it would be best, in (mindless) robot related deaths, to say "He got killed in a robot accident", and consequently deciding a verdict? :) Definitely material for the <a href="http://hthth.typepad.com/weblog/2007/03/the_robots_and_.html" rel="nofollow">Robot Ethics Charter</a>. But in any case, you're right. My last remarks were mainly to deter Hollywood inspired robot fear :) Hah — I actually thought about that but didn’t really reach a conclusion because of cars.

This can be done by accident. Perhaps the robot can get the charge reduced for pleading guilty. Involuntary manslaughter, perhaps?
