Former Nurse Convicted of Murder in 130 M.P.H. Crash That Killed Six
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 crash in which she drove at 130 miles per hour, killing six people. The verdict means prosecutors proved she acted with extreme indifference to human life rather than mere recklessness, which is rare in fatal traffic cases. The case has drawn wide attention because of the unusually high speed involved and the murder conviction rather than a lesser vehicular manslaughter charge.
Why now: The severity of the verdict — murder rather than manslaughter for a traffic death — is unusual and striking.
