    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.

      Now look up what the maximum sentence would be for when someone purposefully murders someone with a car. Because Vehicular Homicide in the second degree- is where a death is caused “without an intention to do so” and where there is neither reckless driving, nor a DWI offense.

      You’re manufacturing an argument while leaving out key facts.

      Your boy WANTED the CEO dead. So, don’t use accidental death cases to compare it in bad faith

      Vehicular homicide with intent carries the same penalties as with a gun.
