This was a special ABC report, live coverage from Florida, no link at the moment. It was almost funny how the special prosecutor went into detail on how they don't prosecute according to public pressure.

Let's face it...Murder 2 is the highest charge she can and guarantee that there is a court case. If she filed Murder 1, then she would have had to go before a Grand Jury which may have very well refused charge him.

For the record, here is the statue:

Quote:
(2) The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
I think they're going to have a hard time proving the "depraved mind regardless of human life" part of it, but we'll see.
