CATON v. STATE

No. 84-256.

709 P.2d 1260 (1985)

Patrick M. CATON, Appellant (Defendant), v. The STATE of Wyoming, Appellee (Plaintiff).

Supreme Court of Wyoming.

November 25, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald R. Mason of Mason & Twichell, Pinedale, for appellant (defendant).

A.G. McClintock, Atty. Gen., Gerald A. Stack, Deputy Atty. Gen., Mary B. Guthrie (argued), and John W. Renneisen, Sr. Asst. Attys. Gen., for appellee (plaintiff).

Before THOMAS, C.J., and ROSE, ROONEY, BROWN and CARDINE, JJ.


CARDINE, Justice.

In a trial to the court, Patrick Caton was convicted of aggravated homicide by vehicle. His appeal of the conviction presents three questions which we must determine. First, was he denied a speedy trial? Second, does the vehicular homicide statute under which he was convicted apply when the victim is a pedestrian?1 And, finally, is that statute unconstitutionally vague?

We affirm.
