wreckless driving...more like attempted Murder...

[Chuck]

I bet if it was a pedestrian he rolled over things would be different.  The guy blew his horn before crunching this guy...

I think they should charge the driver of the dump truck with attempted murder or attempted homicide with a use of a motor vehicle.

Personally I think the DA is waiting to charge the driver of the dump truck based on the results of an investigation.

I am sure he will have some excuse like his foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas by mistake and he will get off with 30 days of house arrest or some stupid thing like that...  ::)  :-/

  I hate reading stuff like that.  If only more people had their freakin horn hooked to the brake.  K-3 got room for a wing man?  >:(

Based on that article, sounds like murder 2 (willfull act to kill and individual but no premeditation) or manslaughter (direct action that led to the death of another.  No premeditation) to me.

Felonious assualt with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.

Since the guy lived, they can't do murder 2.  Maybe attempted murder, but if they get him with Felonious assualt with intent, he'd do more time than attempt murder.

Also, use of a vehicle in commision of a felony.

PS - Chuck - Technically, when a motorcyclist is seperated from a motorcycle, the law can look upon the rider as a pedestrian. I've only seen AV rated attorneys pull off double charges, though.

It'd be awfully tough to prove the driver of the truck had any "intent to harm".

He could easily beat that (but still show himself to be a butt-hole) by saying "I just wanted to scare him a little.  Just nudge his bike because he was just sitting there and I was in a big hurry."

That's why I'd say manslaughter.  Which I believe is a greater crime than the feloneous assault.
