I am not an expert on this but I did a quick check of some of the statutues
If the driver was inxoticated at the time s/he may be charged with homocide by intoxicated use of a vehicle a class C felony which means incarceration up to 10 years. or Whoever causes the death of another human being by the negiligent operation or handling of a vehicle is guilty of a class E felony. (incarceration not to exceed 2 years) You need intent to kill to get a murder conviction. Last nite the police said they had lots of leads and are vigously persuing this case. There has been pretty specific information given about the year, color,make of the vehicle as well as damage done to the vehicle. Even if the person doesn't turn him or herself in there have to be people who know who did this. It is just a matter of time before this person is apprehended I am sure.

Will this be treated as a murder or as a "traffic death"? Is there a difference? - cathy, la crosse At 01:43 PM 10/31/2003 -0600, you wrote: >I've been acquainted with Susan Quigley and her family for over 10 years.
