State v. Jones

In State v. Jones (1985), 18 Ohio St.3d 116, 18 Ohio B. 148, 480 N.E.2d 408, the Supreme Court of Ohio held that an individual may be convicted of a separate violation of aggravated vehicular homicide for each person killed as a result of a single instance of that individual's reckless operation of his vehicle and that such convictions do not violate constitutional proscriptions or double jeopardy. In Jones, the appellant was indicted and pled guilty to two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide in which he was sentenced to two to five years imprisonment on each count, to be served consecutively.
