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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/neon-driver-charged-you-know-him-with-pic/49813)._
