READ

In a criminal case arising from a traffic accident wherein sober defendant-driver's excessive speeding claimed the lives of three passengers, conviction for criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault is reversed and dismissed where, although defendant's excessive speeding behavior was negligent and unquestionably "blameworthy", the evidence adduced at trial did not establish that circumstances surrounding the accident amounted to the kind of "morally blameworthy" component required to infer defendant's criminal negligence.
