holding that death resulting from actions constituting reckless vehicular homicide does not bar an alternative sentence
holding that the trial court could not categorically deny an alternative sentence on the basis that a death was involved in view of the legislature’s providing that alternative sentencing was an available option for a vehicular homicide sentence
holding factor (10) is applicable where the defendant creates a high risk to the life of a person other than the victim(s)
noting that factor (10) does not apply to vehicular homicide when the defendant presents no risk to the life of anyone other than the victim
holding this enhancement factor may not be applied to vehicular homicide by recklessness
explaining that “if there is no risk to the life of a person other than the victim, clearly the proof necessary to establish enhancement factor (10) will be encompassed by the proof necessary to establish an essential element of vehicular homicide”
