I don’t think so.

Sure. It would be manslaughter or vehicular homicide if they were sober, aggravated vehicular homicide if they were drunk.

The only thing that elevates it to murder is the fact that the victim was a cop. Stealing $38.00 shouldn't be a felony to invoke the felony murder rule.

I withdraw my comment in Post 28. Seems to be covered by statute in Ky. See my comment at 29.

How about fleeing arrest?
