Yeah, that's very true. That driver also doesn't deserve to get convicted of something more severe than what he actually did.

So does the United States in their trucking industry. This guy just fucked up horribly. He is not, however, a murderer which implies premeditation.

Fortunately, the law doesn't operate on what's in your mind.

Murder implies premeditation. The prosecutor and judge didn't see evidence of premeditation.

I largely agree, but the Maricopa prosecutor and judge saw it differently.

Edit: Downvotes don't change reality.

So, if you actually read the article, it says he claimed that the steering wheel locked up on him, but the NTSB stated that he suffered from severe fatigue. Maricopa county prosecutors said there wasn't enough evidence to press any felonious charges.

So, at best, this would be a case of manslaughter (which is a felony), but there's no conclusivity on whether it was with malicious intent or premeditated.

So no, he's not a murderer. He negligently fell asleep at the wheel.
