Original: Former Nurse Convicted of Murder in Crash at 130 M.P.H. That Killed Six

A former nurse has been convicted of murder for a high-speed crash in which she drove at roughly 130 miles per hour, killing six people. Prosecutors pursued murder charges rather than lesser vehicular offenses, arguing her extreme speed showed a depraved indifference to human life. The verdict has drawn wide attention, with debate over how aggressively the justice system should treat reckless drivers who cause mass casualties.
