Holdings:
The Massachusetts
Court made the following holding:
- A conviction for felony
vehicular homicide requires findings both that the defendant was operating
under the influence, and that she was operating to endanger (and that her
operation caused the death of another).
- To succeed on the
element of operating under the influence, the Commonwealth is required to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that one or more of the scheduled
medications, through its effect on the defendant's judgment, alertness,
and ability to respond promptly and effectively to unexpected emergencies,
diminished her ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. A scheduled
medication need not have been the sole or exclusive cause of the
defendant's diminished ability to drive safely, so long as is was a
contributor.
