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.Originally Posted by quickdodge®
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.
