VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER \u2013 COMPARISON OF \u201cGROSS
\nNEGLIGENCE\u201d THAT IS AN ELEMENT OF VIOLATION OF
\nOFFENSE DEFINED IN CRIMINAL LAW ARTICLE \u00a72-209 WITH
\n\u201cCRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

December 21, 2011
\nThe Honorable Joseph I. Cassilly
\nState\u2019s Attorney for Harford County<\/p>\n

…
\nThe New York court also differentiated between \u201cnegligence,\u201d
\nas used in civil cases, and \u201ccriminal negligence\u201d:<\/p>\n

\n

\nCriminal liability cannot be predicated on every
\nact of carelessness resulting in death ….. The
\ncarelessness required for criminal negligence is
\nappreciably more serious than that for ordinary
\ncivil negligence[;]the carelessness \u201cmust be such
\nthat its seriousness would be apparent to anyone
\nwho share[s] the community\u2019s general sense of
\nright and wrong\u201d…. Criminal negligence thus
\nrequires \u201csome serious blameworthiness in the
\nconduct that caused [the death]\u201d… or some
\nculpable \u201crisk creation\u201d ….\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
