Because I believe the trial judge did not err in refusing to instruct the jury as requested by the defendant, I must respectfully dissent.
Punishing a defendant for unintentionally causing the death of another while in the commission of a misdemeanor is not a new legal concept, in either a criminal case or a civil case. For example, in Pippin v. State,19 Ala. App. 384, 387, 97 So. 615, 617-18 (1923), the Court of Appeals said that "[t]he killing of a human being without malice, the slayer being at the time in the commission of a misdemeanor, and not having the intent to kill or to inflict the injury causing death," is punishable as a criminal act. The same act is punishable in a civil case based on the tort of wrongful death. For example, in Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co. v.Yeldell, 274 U.S. 112 (1927), a defendant in a wrongful-death action appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, contending that Alabama's wrongful-death statute was unconstitutional because it authorized a plaintiff to recover punitive damages for a defendant's simple negligence if death resulted from the negligence. In that case, the Supreme Court held that Alabama could authorize the recovery of punitive damages for simple negligence if death resulted, without violating *Page 111 a defendant's constitutional rights, stating: "We cannot say that it is beyond the power of a legislature . . . to attempt to preserve human life by making homicide expensive." 274 U.S. at 116.
Even though Yeldell was a civil case, I believe the principle therein stated should apply to the Legislature's power to punish criminally a person who violates a traffic law, when the evidence shows that the violation of that traffic law was the proximate cause of another's death. Stated differently, it appears to me that the Legislature had the power to adopt a statute that would meet society's needs to preserve human life and which would punish an individual for causing the death of another, even though the wrongdoer may not have possessed a culpable mental state at the time. For an excellent law review article on the subject of criminalizing negligence, see Leslie Yalof Garfield, A MorePrincipled Approach to Criminalizing Negligence: A Prescription For TheLegislature, 65 Tenn. L. Rev. 875 (1998). In that article, Professor Garfield says, "Although criminal law has never been comfortable with punishing individuals for mere carelessness, the increased potential for technology-related accidents in our fast-paced culture makes it necessary to reexamine this reluctance and to question whether there are circumstances when lack of due care should be a sufficient predicate for invoking the sanctions of criminal law." 65 Tenn. L. Rev. at 877. I agree with Professor Garfield, and I believe the Legislature intended to enact a statute that did exactly that when it adopted § 32-5A-192, Ala. Code 1975.16
I believe the trial court properly refused to instruct the jury as requested by the defendant; therefore, I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
