Neon Driver Charged - You know him! With Pic

Those of you that don’t think there is legal ground for the manslaughter/negligent homicide charge, what if the Mustang would have hit another car and killed some innocent people? What about charges for the Neon driver then?

Lots of precedent there to make the case. You and I agree to rob a liquor store and I end up killing the clerk. You wanted nothing to do with that, but since the murder happened during the commission of a crime that we both agreed to (just like they both agreed to this race) you’re now facing a murder charge as well.

It’s definitely an interesting legal case, especially for someone like me who’s always had an interest in law and has a tiny bit of training on the subject.

DISCLAIMER: I still don’t like the charge as it stands because the only people who were hurt were the people racing and put innocent lives at risk. Just explaining that I can understand how Frank Clark came up with the charges.

Yes but in that case arent you guilty by association? Possibly the neon driver would be in this case too, i just cannot understand how they could charge him with homicide? he did not use his vehicle as a weapon that would have caused the other driver to swerve and die…(which would be vehicular manslaughter i know). this gets more and more confusing as we talk about it.
