Murder requires malice (i.e. intent), and you don't meet the standard of intent just by exceeding some level of recklessness/negligence.

Driving 75mph in a 25mph zone is malicious and indicates intent to kill people.

No, that's not how intent works. What it shows is recklessness.

[–] BlackDragon@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe that's not how it works by your definition of intent, but it certainly is how it works in mine.

Right, and I'm not a prosecutor so I don't give a fuck about specific legal definitions.
