Her murder occurred approximately a month after she testified in a civil service hearing involving two San Diego police officers, Officer Larry Avrech and Lieutenant Carl Black. The hearing occurred approximately four months after Avrech was fired from the police department and Black was demoted for their involvement with Gentile.

While driving in a desolate mountain area, Vic stopped and offered Don an hallucinogenic drug. Don refused, but Vic said if Don wished to stay in the car, he would have to join Vic in using the drug. Fearing that he would be abandoned in freezing temperatures many miles from the nearest town, Don ingested the drug. While under the influence of the drug, Don killed Vic, left the body beside the road, and drove Vic’s car to town. Later he was arrested by police officers who had discovered Vic’s body. Don has no recall of the events between the time he ingested the drug and his arrest. After Don was arraigned on a charge of first degree murder, the police learned that Wes had witnessed the killing. Aware that Don had been arraigned and was scheduled for a preliminary hearing at the courthouse on that day, police officers took Wes to the courthouse for the express purpose of having him attempt to identify the killer from photographs of several suspects.

When one tackles the job of criticizing the English, it behooves him to see if his own house is in order. I will review the English developments and examine American authorities as well, in the light of the English decisions. As will appear, our own approach to the "negligent" murder leaves something to be desired. So I will also examine the Model Penal Code to ascertain whether it offers a rational solution to the problem. I BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM Before getting into Smith and Ward it seems desirable to attempt to identify the problem of negligent murder and examine some of the back- ground materials. Murder as developed under the common law of England is defined as unlawful homicide with malice aforethought. Manslaughter is unlawful homicide without malice aforethought. 3 These vague definitions have been retained in nearly every American jurisdiction.4 Some statutes merely spe- * Professor of Law, University of California School of Law, Berkeley; Special Consultant, American Law Institute Model Penal Code Project. 1 [1960] 3 Weekly L.R. 546 (H.L.); 1960 CAmm.
