And I wasn't talking about this or any other specific case, just attempting to make sure that people understood the general legal concepts.

Where there is a victim of vehicular homicide, it wouldn’t be a civil suit. So again, it’s irrelevant.

OP compared the CEO’s murder outcome as potentially being different if he purposefully ran him over with a car. This isn’t about civil suits. It’s not about any other suits. It’s about this particular “what if” scenario where a different weapon was used.

It’s a bad argument and a was just attempting to illustrate that.
