People v. Kenneth Smith

Defendant was involved in a personal 'injury accident on May 5, 1975 and pled guilty to a traffic violation. The victim of the accident subsequently died and defendant was charged with negligent homicide. Defendant withdrew his guilty plea on the traffic violation, pled nolo contendere, and was sentenced. Defendant next successfully moved the circuit court to quash the information on the negligent homicide charge on grounds of double jeopardy. The plaintiff appeals by right from the July 29, 1975 opinion and subsequent order granting that motion.
