Actually thats the very definition of vehicular manslaughter. For something to be considered murder there has to be intent to kill. You can't tell me the kid said im going to take off from this like and kill those to girls with my mustang. I agree that he deserves to go to jail and I agree that he was in the wrong but shit does happen and that does not make him a murderer. If it does then everytime someone street races on here they are attempting murder of someone.

So if someone was going 56 in a 55 and ended up crashing and killing somebody would you feel the same way? That's murder? That's equivalent to shooting someone in the head in the heat of passion? What if he was only going 5 miles over the speed limit and still killed her? Where do you draw the line? Do you know anyone who actually drives the speed limit at all times. You probably would get honked at incessantly if you did.

It also raises the question, does it matter if he was racing? Is it more wrong to be going 125 because you are racing someone or to be going 125 because you are really hungry and trying to get to McDonalds. To me they are both stupid and dangerous and can have the same consequences.

I know the law is more specific but I am just asking personal opinions.
