    Manslaughter, by definition, is not murder. It’s unintentionally causing the death of someone else.

      It’s possible that this wasn’t intentional if her intention was to put her bf in the hospital, not literally kill him. But at 100 mph I doubt it.

      Though I could see a psychotic 17 year old not thinking it through and assuming the boyfriend would survive, albeit crippled.
