Porter v. State

Porter (defendant), driving 60-65 mph on a road he had apparently never traveled, ran through an intersection marked with a stop sign 112 feet away without stopping, colliding with and killing a driver crossing on a road marked only with a slow sign; a jury convicted him of manslaughter, and an earlier majority opinion upheld the conviction as culpable negligence, over a dissent arguing the conduct supported only civil liability. Porter was granted rehearing.
