Description
Defendant was indicted for vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated. After a trial on both charges, the jury convicted him of driving while intoxicated, but could not agree as to vehicular homicide. The state appeals an order granting defendant's motion to dismiss the charge of homicide by vehicle on the basis of double jeopardy. The sole issue presented on appeal is whether the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy precludes a retrial of the vehicular homicide charge. We reverse.
