Manslaughter? He stopped and reversed over her! That must be a murder charge, surely?
They can change the charge later - it's relatively common to start with a lower "easy to prove" charge and then increase it after an investigation. "Murder" likely needs some level of intent to be shown.
True, but... stop and then reverse. That's intent.
Intent to what though? Stop and chat? Intimidate? Go back to a turn they missed?
"See the car? Can't be murder, dummy. That'd be bad for profits if cars could what do a murder. You want car owner feel bad about accident boo-boo killing? No! No murder car, only bad fee-fees all around. Everyone sad, unavoidable death, so sad. No murder." -US Auto Manufacturers
