No Manslaughter Charges for Defendant in Deadly Rt. 3 Culpeper Crash
Posted on May 25, 2010
Last March four people were killed on Rt. 3 in Culpeper when a Spotsylvania man crashed head on into their vehicle. The man, Eugene T. Greene, 30, was then charged with four counts of manslaughter, wounding in the commission of a felony, destruction of property, and misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, and operating an uninsured vehicle.
According to Greene’s attorneys, Greene did not have malicious intent in the crash and did not engage in criminal negligence. The judge in the case also upheld the defense’s motion to exclude the charges of wounding in the commission of a felony and destruction of property from the jury’s consideration.
The prosecutor in the case, the assistant Commonwealth’s attorney Dale Durrer, argued that Greene knew or should have known that he was too tired to drive. In an attempt to prove Greene’s guilt, Durrer entered almost 40 pieces of evidence and put on 23 witnesses including police, emergency workers, doctors, and family members of the victims. The prosecution also paid $1,500 for a sleep expert to testify in the case.
However, the jury deliberated for two hours after the three day trial and only found Greene guilty of reckless driving. They recommended that he spend six months in jail and pay $2,500 in fines.
