Description

Appellant ran a stop sign in his 18-wheeler and killed a motorist. He was convicted of the state jail felony of criminally negligent homicide with a finding of deadly weapon. The punishment was four years confinement. In this appeal, we determine whether the sentencing scheme pertaining to appellants offense impermissibly infringed on his right to elect the judge or jury to assess punishment. We also determine, under the equal protection clause, whether there is a rational basis for the statutory scheme for such state jail felonies. Further, we determine whether the states request that appellant provide a copy of his counterfeit insurance card in an investigation subsequent to the accident violated his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. We affirm.
