Does it matter at this point?

It was your example. If it doesn't matter to you, I'm good.

Your logic is flawed.

There have been a couple of fatal DUI's tried as murder in this state. But
all the cases were people with previous DUI's. The rampant disregard of the
law is the difference over someone who is a first time DUI. And the BAC was
always 2-3x legal limit.

By yours, someone who gets busted at a road stop with a .08 BAC should be
charged with attempted murder. I don't have a problem with your logic, I
just think you're wrong.

If you're aware of the danger and you go ahead anyway, you have intent.
It's crystal clear. It saddens me that you can't see it.

I prefer a legal system that differentiates between negligence and
malice. Sorry about your sadness.


But, it's not negligence any more. 50 years ago, maybe that's how it was
defined. Not any more.
