But the second paragraph of OP's article says he was charged with murder?

Ah, they must have changed it since I first read about it, in the NYT article I read a few days ago it was just manslaughter. Good. I hope the guy is locked up for so long he never drives across the bridge again.

Yeah, sometimes prosecutors start with a lesser charge just to get the suspect in custody right away, with the intent of bringing a higher charge once investigation is complete.
