State v. D.D.D.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reckless homicide conviction supported by evidence that the defendant drove at twice the speed limit while intoxicated
• reckless homicide conviction supported by evidence that the defendant drove at twice the speed limit while intoxicated
• unless treatment of injured victim is “so bad that it can be classified as gross negligence or intentional malpractice,” unskilled or improper medical treatment “is considered reasonably foreseeable and, thus, does not constitute an intervening act”
• the mere fact that the victim was initially stabilized after receiving medical treatment for the injuries that resulted when the defendant struck the victim with his car did not defeat a finding of legal causation where the victim succumbed to his injuries nearly two weeks later
