It’s a textbook case of what could trigger the depraved heart homicide rule.
The idea is that, in the case of someone knowingly and intentionally doing or allowing something extremely likely to cause serious injury or death, the “depraved indifference” to human life can be treated as intent to kill and elevate a negligent manslaughter charge to murder.
