Omg! The driver of the suburban was drunk when he hit the guys on the golf cart at 3 am. This was in Harris County . All three on the golf cart has died. The driver was arrested for driving under the influence. Those three families are without a dad. This is so sad. Praying for the family's.

I thought that by definition, murder was intentionally killing a person. Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't sound like murder.

Enzo :
murder was intentionally killing a person

Two thoughts:
1) There are various degrees of murder - 1st degree, 2nd degree, etc.
2) Googling 2nd degree murder, I find that you can be charged with second degree murder if there is "reckless conduct lacking concern for human life". I would suspect that this is the law they are using.

That's horrible. Don't like blaming the victims but being out in a golf cart at 3 isn't a great choice. We rarely ride I'm ours at might even though it has lights and a reflective triangle on it..

West-Tex : The golf carts aren't allowed to be driven at night only during the day. So I wonder if that's going to have any affect on the trial

Maxsmom : I would hope not. Driving a golf cart at 3 AM is incredibly stupid and you may be asking for trouble. BUT . . . he was drunk and hit and killed three people. Would hate to think that driving at the wrong time could provide any shelter from facing the severity of what you did.

Very sad indeed. But I'm reminded of the female teen who was driving drunk about 10 years ago, she crashed, and her passenger boyfriend was killed. She served no jail time. Why is what this guy did so much worse. Oh yeah, I forgot, the girls dad was a judge in Houston.

The very first thing I thought, after feeling great sadness for the three people killed, was what on earth were any of these people doing out at 3 AM?
Being in a golf cart eliminates the possibility of an emergency. The drunk driver has NO excuse for being behind the wheel.

Reese : Right. And golf carts in that subdivision are allowed but only during the day. And I'm not taking up for the drunk guy at all. He's 21 years old. He was almost double the limit . I feel so bad for those families that lost, their husbands or sons or brothers. This affects so many .
