Criminal Liability for Intentional Vehicular Assault
Green intentionally drove a truck and collided with a jeep occupied by the victim. After the initial impact, Green deliberately continued pushing the jeep until it fell into a canal. Given the depth of the water, Green was aware that such an act would likely cause the victim to drown.
A police officer on duty intervened and apprehended Green in the course of performing his official functions. As a result of the incident, the victim sustained injuries but did not die.
Under the Criminal Code, Green’s conduct constitutes an attempted offense pursuant to Sections 28 and 29, as it was committed with intent and direct action toward the commission of the crime. Since the intended result (death) did not occur, the act falls under Section 80 concerning attempt. Additionally, liability under Sections 1 and 2 applies in accordance with the general principles of criminal responsibility.
Therefore, Green may be held criminally liable for attempted murder and related offenses under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Code.
