I believe it is murder, or at least criminally neglegent homicide… I lean more towards murder for 1 reason. It was a choice that was made to get into a car and drive while intoxicated, It’ wasn’t like a bolt rusted on a rollerocaster or something… ther person made the CHOICE to get into the car knowing that they were impaired, and unable to drive… but figured they could make it the 2 miles or 5 miles or 10 miles home becase it was cheaper / easier than a cab.
Ppl make stupid choices in other murders… Robbing stores, (needed money made poor choice) Killing wife / wife’s lover because she was cheating on you (Crime of passion, poor choice) should those ppl get off because they made a bad decision? What if they didn’t mean to kill them but they died from inuries?
PPl who drive drunk dont get in their car and think… well I’m gunna kill someone, but they do choose to get into their car and the potential to injure / kill other people is there.
This is what I have been saying too. And somehow people on here think it is somehow alright to make that choice to drink and drive. You should still get more of a punishment even if you don’t hit anything at all. That doesnt make you sweet at driving drunk or anything, it makes you a person who should be charged with attempted homicide every time you drink and drive at all.
