If it really were cardiac arrest (which it’s obviously not proven otherwise it wouldn’t be murder, so this plot hole makes no sense) then at worst, he would be charged with manslaughter. Cardiac arrest can arise from high stress, which the dude intentionally did. Breaking the ribs, albeit “accidental”, is also manslaughter. I’m starting to believe Neal thinks that accidental abuse is legal and/or innocent.
