Can you be charged with murder and vehicular homicide in the state of Ohio?

A person can only be charged with one type of homicide for each person who was killed. If a pregnant woman was killed and the fetus was at least half term, then there are two homicides with which a person can be charged. Vehicular homicide is typically a less serious offense than murder.

What do you do if a ex friend threatens to kill you and the Principal and counselor do not do anything about it?

When someone threatens to kill you it is considered a serious offense even if that person just said it in anger. One can never tell if that particular person would go through with their threat. Tell your parents and let them know the school Principal and counsel did nothing to protect you. You parents can contact the police and they will handle the situation. Please talk to your parents immediately!
