Harris v. Commonwealth

Facts:

In a drunk driving case where traffic violation had occurred, the Defendant a resident of Virginia Beach contended that the trial court erred in failing to dismiss his manslaughter indictment because that conviction violated the Double Jeopardy Clause of U.S. Const. amend. V, and Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294. The appellate court disagreed, finding that the driving while intoxicated statute, under which defendant had been previously convicted, and the vehicular aggravated involuntary manslaughter statute required proof of different elements. While the manslaughter statute required proof of driving under the influence, it also required criminal negligence and death.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

U.S. Const. amend. V guarantees protection against (1) a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal; (2) a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction; and (3) multiple punishments for the same offense.
A proximate cause is an act or omission that, in natural and continuous sequence unbroken by a superseding cause, produces a particular event and without which that event would not have occurred. There can be more than one proximate cause of an incident and liability attaches to each person whose negligent act results in the victim's injury or death. Causation is a factual issue left to the jury to decide.
