As an intern, I worked on a case where the mother hadn't had a seizure in a long time and was a licensed lifeguard (she was also a friend from high school). She was teaching her toddler to swim. Grandmother was watching. Grandmother went to answer the doorbell. When she came back, both our client and the child were face down in the water and not breathing. The child died, our client did not. It's actually a reported case:

Our client, at the time was allowed to drive, was on medication and still had the seizure. She was a fairly severe case, not nearly as severe as the Defendant in this case. If someone goes 5+ years without incident and it was never confirmed that she actually did have epilepsy, I don't think that is criminal negligence. As I said before, I'm fine with the verdict and Nancy Grace is a piece of crap.
