Vacate
(Judgment): To render void; to set aside.
Vehicular Homicide:
Death of another caused by the intentional, unlawful,
or negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
Venue: The geographic
area where the case or claim occurred, within which
a court with jurisdiction can hear and determine a case.
A change of venue, or the moving of a case from one
court to another may be granted for such reasons as
when the court does not think the defendant can get
a fair trial in that area or for the convenience of
the parties in a civil case.
Verdict: The opinion
rendered by a jury, or a judge where there is no jury,
on a question of fact. A verdict is not a judicial determination,
but rather a finding of fact that the trial court may
accept or reject and utilize in formulating its judgment.
Voluntary Dismissal:
The court or district attorney dismissed the charges
against an individual. |
