TOO WEAK A CHARGE

We are aware that pre-
meditation must be proved
against a man who kills an
other before he can be con-
victed on a charge of muir
der in the first degree. No
specified time is given for
the generalization. Black
stone says it may be as short
as 80 seconds.
Though aware of that
fact, The Citizen believes
that the legislators of the
state of Florida should add a
paragraph to the law gov
erning capital punishment,
making a drunken d riv err
guilty of murder in the first
degree when he kills any
body.
That thought came 10
mind when we read the
story of the two boys who
were killed by an autonlo-
bile in Miami by a driver
who. the police declared,
was drunk. One of these
boys had relatives in Key
West.
Here were two boys, each
Is years of age, out early
in the morning delivering
newspapers. The boys
We're ambitious; that
is evident because of their
getting up early to work to
help themselves and men,
bers of their family. While
they were at work, along
comes an alleged drunken
driver and kills them.
Should the law regard
drunkenness as an anchor
ating circumstance? No, no,
a lawyer would maintain.
That factor will make it go
harder with the defendant
in a case of that kind. All of
which is true. But does the
factor go far enough? Why
doesn't the law, in an effort
to stamp out drunken driv-
ing. impose a death penalty
on such driver who kills
anybody while in a state of
intoxication?
Make intoxication equi-
vafent to generalization, and
there would not be so many
drunken drivers. Too severe
penalty, somebody may
object, but he wouldn't
think that way if a drunkenl
driver killed his child.
Al charge OF manslaughter
is too weak a charge to-
lodge against a man who,
while drunk, kills two boys
with his automobile.
