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.
