Facts:

the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) of involuntary manslaughter, in

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- A defendant found guilty
under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-36.1(A) who involuntarily causes the death of
another as the result of driving under the influence is guilty of
involuntary manslaughter and can be sentenced to up to 10 years of
imprisonment with no mandatory minimum. Under Va. Code Ann. §
18.2-36.1(B), if, in addition to the elements in § 18.2-36.1(A), the
conduct of the defendant was so gross, wanton and culpable as to show a
reckless disregard for human life, he shall be guilty of aggravated
involuntary manslaughter, a felony punishable by a term of imprisonment of
not less than 1 nor more than 20 years, 1 year of which shall be a
mandatory, minimum term of imprisonment.
- The language in Va. Code
Ann. § 18.2-36.1, regarding involuntary manslaughter as a result of
driving under the influence, is similar to the language used in several
murder statutes that reference other crimes as an element of the murder
offense. None of these statutes expressly allows multiple punishments for
the underlying offenses. However, Virginia case law has interpreted this
type of language to allow the simultaneous prosecution and conviction of
felony murder as well as the underlying felony upon which the murder
charge is based.
