Dumb driver... invited a stranger into his car... turned around and used his vehicle as a weapon after the danger to himself had passed. The attempted murder charge is appropriate.

The teen got the sever(e) lesson, which I cannot cry too much about.

Will be tough to find dozen jury members to convict... even if driver perp not convicted ... kid can sue him ...

(And who said criminals don't have severance pay available to them?)

A jury will have decide what actions were warranted, and what wasn't...given the decided severity of the situation

After?

No.

The criminal was out of the car but still armed at the time.

The attempted murder is overcharging. I could see a charge of littering.

“...turned around and used his vehicle as a weapon after the danger to himself had passed.”

But the danger did not pass in regards to the public. You have a armed (and slightly disarmed) gunman on the loose.

The driver did the right thing taking out the danger before the Disarmed One victimize anyone else.
