Misleading as hell titles for this running around. I thought she was just driving fast based on what I saw in the headlines last week. She totally deserves the murder charges.
I believe stateside it’s called ‘manslaughter’ in a case such as that. Manslaughter is “the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.” So no, it wouldn’t be deserving of a murder sentence… Edit: Unless the jury or judge deemed it so, of course.

I mean, causing a crash and killing someone in the process of speeding is still deserving of a murder sentence.

To make matters even more confusing it all depends on state. Most have manslaughter and for a couple it would be 3rd degree murder.
Hmmmm. No.
There are judges in North Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas that would say “well, were they protesting or something?”
Food for thought.
Or Portland, even.
