State v. Bakka

State v. Bakka

DWS Not Reckless For Manslaughter. State v. Bakka ___ NJ ___ A-157-01 (July 1, 2003).
A defendant's operation of a vehicle with a revoked license, absent any indication of the reasons for that revocation, is not probative of recklessness within the meaning of the aggravated manslaughter, N.J.S.A. 2C: 11-4a, or vehicular-homicide; N.J.S.A. 2C: 11-5, statutes. The evidence concerning defendant's revocation, however, was not clearly capable of producing an unjust result in repect of defendant's aggravated manslaughter, vehicular homicide and unlawful taking by a means of conveyance convictions.
