While "not every intoxicated driving case resulting in a fatality constitutes second-degree murder," a verdict of second-degree murder may be appropriate where the evidence demonstrates "a level of misconduct that goes beyond that of drunk driving." Miranda issues raised by defendant failed to establish that statements were involuntary.
