On February 21, 2008 Harris County Texas Deputy Craig Miller was involved in a fatal car crash. 

Deputy Miller worked in the special investigative unit. 

Deputy Miller was on his way to relieve another Deputy on a surveillance assignment. 

Deputy Miller was on the Katy Freeway when a truck driven by Jose Vieyra pulled out in front of Deputy Miller. 

Deputy Miller had a .27 blood alcohol content at the time of his death. 

The autopsy showed the physical damage associated with regular heavy drinking. 

There were not skid marks in Deputy Miller’s lane indicating that he did not attempt to brake before impacting with the truck. 

Vieyra, a foreign national, had been charged with criminally negligent homicide. 

The Police indicate that Deputy Miller’s .27 blood alcohol content and apparent failure to brake had nothing to do with the accident. 

Assume Vieyra had a .27 blood alcohol content and a police cruiser pulled out in front of him – do you think the police officer would be charged with criminally negligent homicide? 

Of course not.
