I disagree with the "at least" part. I believe it needs to be a murder
rap to insure someone who would so willingly throws away life isnt
allowed back on the street. Alcoholism and addiction may be diseases but
that doesn't excuse their action. Jail, or some other, means of insuring
they can pose no threat to society.

Thanks Chris. Yes, I agree. It should be at least criminal negligence to
kill someone with a car/truck. A trial and a guilty/not-guilty verdict
are still important -- but it's hard not to think the defendant should
not be driving during that time --- for all our safety.

I have long thought that killing someone while drunk driving should
solicite a murder charge since the person driving made the choice
knowingly to do something that could cause him to kill someone.. It is
like pointing a gun at someone and having it go off accidently. You
still pointed the gun at them, so you killed them.
People in this country need to accept that just because they drink
themselves doesnt mean drinking and driving isn't a major crime. The
sooner the courts start prosecuting drunk drivers for the criminals they
are the sooner we can stop hearing so many tragic stories like this one.
Sorry, soap box mode = off now
