Watson Murder
In California, when a DUI accident results in the death of a person ― whether that person was in a car, in the car with the drunk driver, driving a motorcycle, walking or riding a bicycle ― it is known as a Watson Murder. The Watson Murder Rule involves the theory of implied malice. If a person has a prior DUI conviction, for example, the prosecution may attempt to use that to prove implied malice.
