Simply goes to intent to commit murder, or at worst aggravating circumstances.

That would be true only if he survived the ordeal. However, he didn't, so this is more likely second-degree murder.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge this as a second degree murder. Sure, she didn't intend to put him through her windshield...but,

She's a nurse's assistant and she refused to give him aid over a two-day period? I'd argue that constitutes premeditation and malice aforethought with respect to anything that occurred after she drove home and sobered up...and I bet I could convince a jury to agree with me. At the least it is a depraved heart murder, but I think there is a strong argument for First Degree murder since she failed to render aid to him and had to know the eventual results of her deliberate inaction.

"That would be true only if he survived the ordeal"

I don't necessarily disagree with that, but whatever they finally charge her with there still has to be intent.

Without intent, mens rea, there cannot be a crime.
