Is catching a beating a lesser crime than rape? or murder like Mathew Broderick did while driving drunk?

      But he killed a person nonetheless. How come it was not Vehicular Manslaughter or something.? Hell one guy is in jail for shooting Nikki Minaj in the foot.

        If you’re ever going to kill someone do it with a car. In North America they can’t punish you too hard for it or it sets a precedent even if you did it premeditated. I think the one exception to them being scared to throw the book at vehicular crimes is trying to kill a cop with it, so don’t do that one for sure.
