William Dewey Gill, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the evidence was insufficient to support Gill's negligent-homicide conviction because his unexplained failure to see the victim's vehicle, without additional culpable risk-creating conduct, did not constitute criminal negligence. The court upheld the inadequate-insurance conviction because the statutory presumption of uninsured status was supported by Gill's failure to present valid insurance proof and was not rebutted by the evidence. The negligent-homicide conviction was reversed and dismissed, while the inadequate-insurance conviction was affirmed.
