Overzealous Prosecutor Charges Bus Driver with Murder

Not content with putting more people on death row than any other county, the Harris County DA has charged a bus driver who was involved in an unfortunate bus-pedestrian accident that took the life of a girl on her way to school with murder. Criminal homicide charges of any level for traffic accidents that don't involve drugs or alcohol, reckless speeding, or running of red lights are an outrage. But murder? This is ridiculous. Sometimes a tragic accident is just a tragic accident. No purpose whatsoever is served by charging a driver in such circumstances with murder.
