Who caused the Wreck on 85-N?

In fact, I stated previously that "You are trying to implicate that he intentionally killed these people," not that you did actually state that he willfully killed the occupants of the SUV.

But I never implicated anything. I said he knew the possible outcomes and ignored them. If he had not ignored them, the family may still be here. He just figured this wouldn't happen, I'm sure.

My main point is that he should not be charged with any sort of intention to kill. Since we both agree on that, he's already up for the stiffest penalty available under the law for murder without intent. Vehicular homicide > involuntary manslaughter.

Agreed. Either way, it will be interesting to see how this plays out even more. You see where this dude now states that he had a passenger? Lolol. His side is just getting more bizarre and confusing each day. Later, QD.

The implication is clearly there. You said, "And not involuntary [manslaughter] because he was intending on driving recklessly." You're applying his intent to drive recklessly to his intent to kill. I don't agree with that at all. That's what I addressed when I made the distinction between partaking in a risky activity and partaking in a risky activity with the intent to cause harm.

Anyhow, I'm mostly interested to read about seat belt/child safety seat usage. This guy is going to have all kinds of wild stories before he (hopefully) just breaks down and accepts tells the truth. Hopefully it'll be something like this.

"Yes, I was driving too fast. I realized I needed to slow down and hit the brakes, but I saw that I could not stop in time. I attempted to utilize the emergency lane to avoid a collision, but the SUV swerved first into me, and then the opposite direction. I deeply regret being the trigger for the deaths of the occupants of the SUV. It was not my intention to kill anyone, but now that it has happened, I can only apologize and plea for mercy."

I'd have a lot more faith in the human spirit if this kid would just man up instead of trying to dodge the consequences.

Actually, you are implying that that's what I said. You're reading more into this than I am. I guess to make you not look wrong? I don't think you're wrong in this. Just wrong about you THINK that I actually am saying.

But anyway.....

You and me both, homey. Later, QD.

I said:

"You are trying to implicate that he intentionally killed these people. "

You said:

"In a sense he did. He drove like this knowingly and willingly. He knew the dangers of his driving habit."

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Anyhow, that point of contention is of no real consequnce anymore. :p

And it's true. In a sense he did. In a sense are the key words. We both know that that wasn't his intent.

Yessir. Later, QD.
