Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I suppose it is less about the pain meds and more about whether it was expected that you knew whether you would have seizures. If a person knows that they have black outs, narcolepsy, seizures, and what not, and they get behind the wheel of a car knowing that at any moment one of these things could happen, then they are responsible for someone's death if it is caused by the car they are driving.

I doubt under these facts that "Capital Murder" could be charged. Such a charge indicates that the death of the person was intentional. Perhaps Second Degree Murder, Manslaughter, or Vehicular Homicide would be more appropriate. First Degree Murder, a capital offense, requires that the killing be intentional.
