Recently in Dallas, there was a freeway shooting that was caused by road rage. The short form of the story is that car A (a large SUV with 3 side windows) cutoff car B and car B retaliated by throwing a bottle that broke the backside (last) window. The driver of car A then slowed down and was several lengths behind car B when he then sped up and the driver of car A shot and k**led the driver of car B.
Now my question is would this be manslaughter or murder. Myself, I am leaning toward murder because the driver of car A pulled behind car B and was clearly out of danger when he decided to speed up and reengage car B. So what do you think? Should the driver be charged with murder or manslaughter or nothing...

It was premeditated then. You can never foreguess juries but I'd go with road rage IF there was no premiditation, with it murder.

I've been in the car with someone that had road rage.
I told the person, I drive this same road and I don't understand why you have so much trouble making this drive.
The most hard headed person ever and it was scary to be in the car.
Then you play that game with another driver with road rage and you fear for everybody.

2nd degree murder, intentional but without forethought.
