      Dude that’s now how any trial works. You cannot prove an accident is an accident. It’s the prosecutors job to prove that it wasn’t.

          Proving it was not intentional, and proving it was an accident, are two very different things.

        It was 6:44am, and the sun rose at 7:08 am, so yes.

          Tell me what are the factual standards for nighttime and broad daylight, again?

              But do you know anyone who calls the time before sunrise broad daylight? I would call that dusk, wouldn’t you? And is 2 am nighttime or morning?

      The max penalty for 2nd degree vehicular manslaughter is only 7 years. In theory he could be prosecuted for 1st degree or even aggravated, but those require DUI or multiple fatalities.

          Nope. In New York, the law for vehicular manslaugher/homicide only applies where DUI is involved. Perhaps you are thinking of regular homicide/manslaughter, but those require proving intent – which as previously stated is hard to do where an automobile is involved.

              especially if you use it to intentionally strike a pedestrian

              There’s that word again… One might think it’s important…

                  I think the point is that it’s a lot easier to “accidentally” hit someone with a car
