Description
The defendant was tried on an indictment charging him with criminally negligent homicide in that he "operated a motor vehicle at an excessive rate of speed, on the wrong side of the road while intoxicated and struck another vehicle" causing the death of another person. He was also charged in separate counts with driving while under the influence of alcohol. The defendant requested the court to charge the jury that he could not be found guilty of criminally negligent homicide unless it found that he had committed all of the acts mentioned in the indictment. The court refused the charge and the jury returned a verdict finding him not guilty of driving while under the influence of alcohol but guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
