What the hell does this mean?

“The most severe charges are leveled against Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., identified as the driver of the van that transported Gray to a police station. He is charged with second-degree depraved heart murder, which carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.”

Depraved heart murder? What? What was he doing, driving 100 mph crashing into old ladies?

Depraved Heart Murder. I had to look that one up. It looks like the legal term relates to "a murder that is the result of an act which is dangerous to others and shows that the perpetrator has a depraved mind and no regard for human life NOTE: Depraved-heart murder is usually considered second- or third-degree murder.". If there was no death, it would be "reckless endangerment".

Maybe he’s Hispanic the driver. Paybacks are hell or he was driving like a madman.
