Yep. This guy was overloaded with intent. And in criminal cases intent is what buries you. There can be no doubt. In the sample video it is clearly shown swerving to the left into the oncoming traffic lane to hit a deer coming from the left. That is pretty clear as to intent. It will be argued that a reasonable person would have either applied the brakes or took evasive action. And also going on the shoulder and running over a downed deer he hit that flies forward upon impact. It will be argued that a reasonable person would not hit a deer and then run it over when there is ample opportunity to not run it over.

Another thing that will be clear evidence of intent will be the fact that the brakes are not applied as a reasonable person would do.

Well his sorry butt gets to go in front of the judge tomorrow for a hearing. Let's wait and see where his arguement of, "I was saving the world from deer-vehicle collisions and I should be receiving an award!" attitude will get him.

I hope the media gets some pics of this douche also for all the world to see.
