I believe it's because it was his reckless driving that caused the death he gets charged with homicide. I believe that's how Georgia law works, if I reall the article I read awhile go correctly.


BTW it should be noted that Georgia is incredilby strict with reckless driving related deaths. The average sentence is about almost 7 and a half years. I will not be surprised if Heatley gets at least 3 years or so, in fact I'll be dissapointed if he doesn't.
