Answer 1

In the scenario you provided, Bobby could potentially be charged with involuntary manslaughter. This charge typically applies in cases where a person unintentionally causes the death of another person through reckless or negligent behavior, such as driving under the influence of alcohol.

Let's briefly consider the other options:

• Felony murder generally applies when a death occurs during the commission of a dangerous felony. Driving under the influence could potentially fit this, but it more commonly falls into the category of involuntary manslaughter in this context.
• Negligent homicide might also be applicable, depending on the jurisdiction, but it usually involves negligence rather than recklessness.
• 1st degree murder requires intent to kill, which Bobby did not have in this scenario.

Thus, the most likely charge is involuntary manslaughter.
