The following terms used in that definition have a special meaning: A person ENGAGES IN RECKLESS DRIVING when that person drives or uses any motor vehicle,4 in a manner which unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of a public highway, road, street, or avenue, or unreasonably endangers users of a public highway, road, street, or avenue.5 1 At this point, the statute continues: “as defined by section twelve hundred twelve of the vehicle and traffic law.” That definition is utilized in this charge in the definition of “reckless driving.” 2 At this point, the statute continues: “as defined in section 125.12 of this article.” 3 At this point, the statute states “other person.” For purposes of clarity, the word “other” modifying “person” has been omitted. 4 At this point, the statute continues: “motorcycle or any other vehicle propelled by any power other than a muscular power or any appliance or accessory thereof.” (Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1212). Such language has been omitted here due to the all encompassing term “motor vehicle.” The additional statutory language should, however, be inserted if that type of vehicle is at issue.

ANDERSON* When most of the communications torts were developing, it was thought that tortious speech required no constitutional protection. If the speech occurred in advertising, the tort rules of liability were doubly insulated from constitutional attack, because it was also believed that commercial speech required no constitutional protection. The courts and occasionally the leg- islatures developed nonconstitutional rules to adjust between the social, economic, and personal interests protected by these torts and the conflicting values of free speech. Except in defamation, these state law rules are still the dominant means of accommodating these competing interests. Since New York Times Co. v. Sullivan,' however, we have known that the constitution protects some tortious speech. Since the 1970s we have known also that the constitution protects some commercial speech. As a consequence, all the communications torts are now vulnerable to constitu- tional scrutiny.

  • Libel and the Reporting of Rumor
    Notes Libel and the Reporting of Rumor On October 5, 1981, the Washington Post reported a rumor that Presi- dent Jimmy Carter had bugged the Washington residence of President- elect Ronald Reagan during Reagan's preinauguration stay. ' A furor quickly ensued. President Carter threatened to sue the Post for libel,2 3 dropping the threat only after its publisher apologized two weeks later. The Post was harshly criticized for publishing what it admitted was ru- mor,4 and the criticism increased when the newspaper acknowledged in an 1. The report appeared in a gossip column called "The Ear," which the Post published three times a week. The report read in full: Y'ALL COME. Well. Quite a little ripple among White Housers new and old. That tired old tale about Nancy dying for the Carters to blow out of the White House as swiftly as possible is doing a re-run-with a hot new twist. (Remember the uproar? Nancy supposedly moaned that she wished Rosalynn and Jimmy would skip out before the Inauguration, so she could pitch into her decor chores.) Now, word's around among Rosalynn's close pals, about exactly why the Carters were so sure Nancy wanted them Out. They're saying that Blair House, where Nancy was lodging-and chatting up First Decorator Ted Graber-was bugged. And at least one tattler in the Carter tribe has described listening in to the Tape Itself. Now, the whole story's been carried back to the present White House inhabitants, by another tattler. Ear is absolutely appalled.

  • Vehicular Homicide Overview.Pdf
    Penalties for Drunk Driving Vehicular Homicide Victims of drunk driving crashes are given a life sentence. In instances of vehicular homicide caused by drunk drivers, these offenders rarely receive a life sentence in prison. Laws vary greatly on the amount of jail or prison time a drunk driver who kills an innocent person may receive. Most states have laws specifying penalties for drunk drivers who kill another person. Other states, like North Dakota and Arizona, do not but are able to bring charges that may bring incarceration through other statutes. Laws providing penalties for drunk drivers who kill allow for vast judicial discretion. As a result, offenders may receive days in jail followed by probation or in very rare instances—a life sentence. This document covers statutes providing for penalties to be brought against a drunk driver who kills another person through the operation of a motor vehicle, either intentionally or negligently. Approximate Jail or Prison Sentences Possible in Traffic Crash Deaths Caused by a Drunk Driver* Alabama: 1 to 10 years Montana: 0 to 30 years Alaska: 1 to 99 years Nebraska: 1 to 50 years Arizona: 1 to 22 years Nevada: 2 to 25 years Arkansas: 5 to 20 years New Hampshire: 0 to 15 years California: 0 to 10 years New Jersey: 5 to 10 years Colorado: 0 to 24 years New Mexico: 0 to 6 years Connecticut: 1 to 10 years New York: 0 to 15 years Delaware: 1 to 5 years North Carolina: 15 to 480 months DC: 0 to 30 years North Dakota: 0 to life Florida: 0 to 15 years imprisonment Georgia: 0 to 15 years Ohio: 1 to
