content: It should be noted that I have no knowledge of the case other than this person was texting while driving and caused an accident killing a person. Technically I believe that it is manslaughter, but if you have been continually warned that texting will lead to horrific accidents that are often fatal as we have all been I believe it should be considered 2nd degree murder. You may not have planned it but you had plenty of warning it was going to happen. IANAL so I may be completely wrong in this.
