    Using a tractor trailer as a weapon (like a gun) hitting someone (like shooting someone) than leaving the scene. How is it not? People have been convicted of murder after a stray bullet from a gang fight hit a innocent bystander. Please explain your defense on the subject. From the intial information I was told he was clipped while trying to pass them. After further investagation the driver rear ended than left the scene of the accident. With a crap defense and tough prosecution murder could easily go through. Would you be unhappy with the driver getting murder?

    Read the definition of murder.

    I have extreme knowledge of it since I lost my brother in law to a hit and run drunk driver who left him laying on the dark road and was later struck by two other vehicles over the next hour of which only the last one, a commercial bread truck stopped and called 911.

    Like I will believe a wiki site....


    Malicious so you know has to be proven and intended.

    Kind of hard to do this.

    Most they will even attempt or get is a manslaughter charge.

    for all involved it is an awful thing to have happen
    the family for losing a loved one
    the two drivers for being there--and leaving--i can imagine they must be worried and scared--
    it looks hard to figure out from the damage just what happened--and who is at fault---but leaving the scene is the worst thing you could do regardless of fault

    I'm sure your right, with the justice system our scums ( most of them ) are faced with are given what is "fair". This is not always dealt with the right way. As you previously seen I said the driver that hit the Volkswagon was guilty but should have had mercy since he probaly would have not known. After further investagation he rear ended the driver which any person with sense would know that would cause injury. He drove on with no empthay for what he did. Which proves malicious intent.

    When my brother in law was struck, he landed into the windshield and breaking it full length. They stopped, got out and pushed him off the car. Then claimed to not have seen him.

    What charge do you think the family wanted?

    Care to guess how much time they served?
