[PAR35]

What do you feel it should be?

Vehicular homicide or manslaughter.

Where do YOU draw the line. If someone is going 60 in a 55 and is involved in a fatal wreck, would you charge them with murder? Some soccer mom drifts across the center line while chatting on the phone?

No, I wouldn’t call that murder. In your example of the soccer mom, to me that would be negligent homicide.

But, these kids were eluding the police, running from a crime scene. It’s the same thing, to me, as shooting an innocent bystander while committing a robbery. In my mind, they did commit murder. I know someone that killed a fella in a fistfight. That was manslaughter.

Drawing the line IS a very hard judgment call. I have my opinions, but I’m certainly not qualified to make that kind of final decision.

You bet, if that "someone" was eluding police apprehension following commission of a felony. This is where "the law draws the line!"
