How often do those charges get used?

For example: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/driver-killed-south-la-si...

A driver, allegedly watching youtube, runs over and kills 2 children of 12 and 14 at a crosswalk. But they were only charged with the lesser vehicular manslaughter, not felony vehicular manslaughter.




Unbelievably tragic story. Thank you for sharing. I did not know about it.
