I would think that if the person doing the assualting got killed, and he was the cause of the accident (by assaulting the driver, and thus possibly causing the seizure), that there would be no indication of vehicular homicide, unless the driver was already stated that he/she was unable to drive due to seizures.
The driver was charged with vehicular homicide.
In the US, depending on the state you're in you can be charged with vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide
If you were charged with aggravated vehicular homicide you should probably not be driving.
A person can only be charged with one type of homicide for each person who was killed. If a pregnant woman was killed and the fetus was at least half term, then there are two homicides with which a person can be charged. Vehicular homicide is typically a less serious offense than murder. If evidence exists that the driver purposely ran over an individual with the intent to kill him, and did kill him, the driver can be charged with murder.
Yes, this would be common and appropriate.
A 17-year-old charged with DWI and vehicular homicide in Florida could face severe penalties, including a possible prison sentence of up to 15 years for vehicular homicide and additional penalties for the DWI charge. The exact sentence would depend on the circumstances of the case and the judge's discretion.
You'd probably be charged with DUI and Vehicular Homicide, though there are other crimes that could also be charged, such as Manslaughter.
Only if the passenger somehow contributed to the commission of the crime.
James McNair, whose stage name was Jimmy Mack, was the friend of Tracy Morgan who was killed in the accident. A truck driver named Kevin Roper has been charged with assault by auto and vehicular homicide.
The driver would most certrainly be charged with, at the very least, mansalughter or Vehicular Homicide.
The description HOMICIDE, indicates that it was probably a criminal act, as opposed to an 'accidental' act which would be charged as MANSLAUGHTER. Therefore the penalty would be the same as if the victim was killed by means of any other weapon.
Assault on a Police Officer is a felony crime in most jurisdictions I am aware of. The maximum penalty that can be imposed is set by your particular state's legislature.
