[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another witness: "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him."

How many people now? 6? [/quote]

But she obviously didn’t realize she hit him until just then. Otherwise she wouldn’t have left all those messages and wondered where he was. It’s manslaughter, not murder. Not even 2nd degree.[/quote]

Wrong.

Third prong second degree murder in the Commonwealth requires only the intent to do an ACT that is extremely reckless and exhibits disregard for human life - like backing your 6000lb SUV in the direction of your boyfriend's body for whatever reason, whether to scare him or knock him on his arse or whatever.

She DID NOT HAVE TO INTEND HIS DEATH. She only had to intend the act that caused his death, an act that any reasonable person would know could cause serious bodily injury or death. And voluntary intoxication as we all know is NO DEFENSE to criminal behavior.

I agree she probably didn't realize immediately the extent of his injuries - she's told on herself by saying 'he didn't look mortally wounded, that I could see.' However it is clear from the way texts and voicemails and missed calls to mommy and daddy and then the early morning calls announcing he was probably dead, hit by a plow are all very strong evidence that she began to realize she'd probably incapacitated him and he was more than likely dead and even at that time, she didn't call 911 or ask for a welfare check on John from the residents at 34 Fairview - she instead orchestrated the whole 'finding the body' dramatic performance by roping his close friends into the faux search for him in the early AM hours.

I'm truly baffled by the folks who cannot see what is plain as the nose on their face.[/quote]
