Description
1 Appellant Robert Slover was convicted after a jury trial of negligent homicide, driving under the influence of an intoxicant (DUI), and driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more. The trial court sentenced him to a mitigated, two-year term of imprisonment for negligent homicide, and, for the other two offenses, suspended the imposition of sentence, placing him on concurrent terms of five years probation. On appeal, Slover argues the trial court erred in ordering him to pay the victims wifes attorney fees as restitution to the extent those fees compensated the attorney for assisting the state in his prosecution. Slover also contends the court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on a superseding cause of death, refusing to admit habit evidence that Slover and the victim drove each others vehicles, and denying his motion for mistrial based on a tainted jury pool. For the following reasons, we affirm Slovers convictions and sentences but vacate the portion of the restitution order awarding the victims wife attorney fees incurred in assisting the state in its prosecution of Slover.
