Joe Smith is driving his full-size van down a
public street. Suddenly he decides to make a
u-turn. But, in order to do so, he has to climb
the lane divider that is 9 inches high. He guns
his engine, turns the wheel, hits the dividerand
then jumps to the opposite sidewalk, going
diagonally across the street against traffic. He
jumps the curb, and slams into Juan Gomez,
smashing Juan into the wall and dragging him 25
feet down the block. Joe then turns the wheel of
his van, dropping Juan to the sidewalk. Joe then
runs over Juans legs and turns back onto the
street, facing the wrong way. Joe stops. The
police arrive and find him sitting on the
sidewalk. Juan is dead, his internal organs
exploding from the impact. The officer (whose
real name is Johnny Walker), smells Joes breath.
Drunk. A blood alcohol test reveals a .24 BAC,
three times the legal limit. Joe is an alcoholic
because a serious accident severed the fingers of
one hand and he drinks to ease the pain. He
drives his van using the palm of his hand on a
knob on the steering wheel. Joe was charged with
two different types of homicide involuntary
manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Based on the readings and your view of the case,
if you were a juror deciding this case, which
verdict would you reach guilty of involuntary
manslaughter, guilty of criminally negligent
homicide, or not guilty of all counts? Defend
your answer as you would have to during jury
deliberations. For more classes
