Criminal negligence definition

Criminal negligence means, with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense, that a person fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.

Criminal negligence means that the crime happened negligently, there was duty of care upon the Person but inadvertently due to his negligence, the duty was breached, which causes harm to the people in the form of death or serious injury.

Criminal negligence means the same as that term is defined in Section 76-2-103.

More Definitions of Criminal negligence

Criminal negligence means there exists such disregard of the interest of others that the license holder's conduct amounts to a gross deviation below the standard of care expected to be maintained by a reasonably careful man under like circumstances.

Criminal negligence means that a person fails to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists.

Criminal negligence means the conduct created a risk of death or great bodily harm; and the risk of death or great bodily harm was unreasonable and substantial; and the defendant should have been aware that his/her conduct created the unreasonable and substantial risk of death or great bodily harm. Based on the prior use of the ERC with Mr. James and the fact that the members of the CERT were aware of its prior use with Mr. James, it would be impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the CERT should have been aware that the use of the ERC would be dangerous to Mr. James. Again, had the CERT gone outside their training or the protocols that are accepted and used in correctional settings nationally, the argument that the conduct here was criminally negligent might be stronger, but there is no evidence of that. Given what had just occurred in removing Mr. James from his cell and the first attempts to remove the prongs from his back where Mr. James continued to resist, it is difficult to say that the correctional officers should have known there was any risk of great bodily harm or death to Mr. James.
