One doesn't need specific intent to take a life in order to be guilty of murder. One can be so reckless in one's behavior that loss of life is a very predictable result. An analogy is getting drunk, getting behind the wheel and killing someone.
Do they even charge drunk drivers with this crime? I’m not sure I’ve heard of this charge before.
“An analogy is getting drunk, getting behind the wheel and killing someone. “
That’s Manslaughter, or Murder in the 3rd degree.
