Teen Lesbian kills mother of three in suicide attempt

[Jimmy Choo]

For any who is more familar with either this case or law in general, could someone elaborate, if possible, on why she is being charged with murder vs. manslaughter?

I'm not in law but this is just my guess, that she "intentionally" wanted to crash into a car. If it was by "accident" then she would have been charged with manslaughter. But she "intentionally" wanted to kill herself by crashing into someone else's car, and because of that intention makes it a murder.

Umm...does it make sense?

And I think "courage" may be the wrong term I used...but you all know what I meant.

I don't know the statistics offhand, but is it more common for teenagers to commit suicide than adults?
