cases to prove a vehicular homicide case

a prosecutor must demonstrate that not

only did an individual who’s charged not

only did he commit an act which resulted

in the death of a pedestrian driver of

another car or any other individual

but basically you must prove that that

the actions of the defendant were

Reckless an example of recklessness

would be of course uh if the blood

alcohol if the person was drunk had a

very high blood alcohol which it was

determined it was concluded ended up in

in the incident the accident that killed

another one or more individuals that is

an example of recklessness however it’s

not limited to drunk driving if one is

uh for instance in many cases you’ll

hear about uh drag racing where two

younger people are involved in a private

area they think was a private area but

obviously a public Street their drag

racing in a very excessive speeds and as

a result someone either a driver a

pedestrian or another uh another vehicle

driver is killed that also is considered

to be Reckless conduct something more

than negligent more than a violation of

care of due care it’s acting under

circumstances where they’re indifferent

to the safety and and health of others

that’s reckless conduct and it’s an

essential element of a vehicular

homicide you know if someone

deliberately drove a car at someone else

to kill them which there’s been

allegations like that that obviously is

more than Reckless that’s intentional

conduct and there can be criminally

negligent homicide in certain cases but

chiefly it’s either Reckless or

intentional conduct by the driver that

and that results in the death of another

individual
