A driver, while texting on their phone, fails to stop at a red light and strikes a pedestrian in the crosswalk, causing the pedestrian’s death. Which type of unintended killing is most applicable to this situation?
Felony murder
Negligent homicide
Misdemeanor manslaughter
Reckless homicide
The correct answer is negligent homicide because the driver’s actions demonstrate a lack of reasonable care, which constitutes negligence. Failure to pay attention to the road while texting is considered a breach of the duty of care expected from a reasonable person under similar circumstances.
