    I heard on one of the TV reports that California has a relatively new (Schwarzenegger era) law allowing that in a second or higher DUI offense, any deaths that result can be charged against the driver as murder.

    I wonder if this will be the test case that gets to the SC.

    Interesting...I can't see that it would hold up on appeal though. Like Wily Mo said, this would probably be tested at the Supreme Court, and it could set some interesting precedents nationally.
    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
