Man Killed by SUV Battery

According to ABC news, a man involved in a violent domestic dispute may be charged with vehicular homicide or second-degree murder. The incident occurred as Kevin Harville, from San Bernardino, CA, was chasing down his girlfriend on the freeway. He rear-ended her car at 65 mph causing his SUV rolled over the center median. As the car rolled, the battery came out of Kevin’s vehicle and shattered the windshield of Shawn Billings Kettlewell and hit him in the head causing his death. In order to convict Harville, prosecutors must prove he had a “life-endangering state of mind.”
