Thread Name: BS: Drunk driving
Subject: RE: BS: Drunk driving
We must deal with things as they are, not as we wish they were.
Drunk driving and murder are two totally different things.
In order to be charged with premeditated murder the state must prove you planned to kill a certain person. Difficult to prove.

In my opinion, if you kill someone and you were drinking you should be charged with depraved indifference or vehicular manslaughter, no other choices.
