Road design, safety and Vision Zero

Would you prefer the more clinically correct "negligent homicide"?

I choose the word murder because it is a stronger word, and it is an active word, and it is a more well understood word.

Saying someone is guilty of "negligent homicide" in the death of a person is a statement which evokes less emotion.

Choosing to drive after getting drunk has the requisite intentionality to qualify, in my opinion, just because you weren't trying to kill someone when you took a gun and started to shoot randomly doesn't mean it isn't an act that can clearly lead to you killing someone. And murder has both a legal meaning (which doesn't apply) and a lay meaning, which I believe should apply.
