    Murder wouldnt stick, have to prove intent.

    Negligent Homicide or Criminal Negligence on the other hand…

        It doesnt meet the criteria for murder.

        Section 1751(a) of Title 18 incorporates by reference 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111 and 1112. 18 U.S.C. § 1111 defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice, and divides it into two degrees. Murder in the first degree is punishable by death.
