Monte, I am certainly not trying to argue with you or split hairs, but the big issue that is going to be brought up in court is that they know what they are doing is very dangerous and could result in the death of someone, yet they decided to do it anyway.

Is there a difference if you let your 14 year old take out the car for a spin and they kill someone? Sure no one ever intends on harming someone but we all know what could happen. It will be interesting to follow the results of this. My bet is involuntary manslaughter for the owner of the car.
