DUI Manslaughter is becoming Murder. Is this what we want?

Posted By Lloyd Golburgh on Aug 6, 2009 5:54pm PDT
A 17-year-old Orange County, California kid drives 100 miles an hour while under the influence of alcohol. The resulting crash killed his friend. Murder requires there be 'specific intent' to kill. Is it right to equate those who kill while DUI with those who criminally intend to kill? Is life in prison what we as a society want for that 17-year-old?

DUI manslaughter is a tragedy. For everyone involved. I've always struggled with the need for revenge against those foolish enough to drink, drive, and kill on one hand and imprisoning those without criminal intent on the other. But calling it Murder? I have to think more about that one.
