Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Capital murder, or all capital offenses are eligible for the death penalty, it requires some degree of premeditation so in this scenario the answer is no. However there is a the potential charge of of DUI manslaughter or Vehicular Homicide. Simply crashing a car and killing someone due to a seizure alone would not be a crime, just a terrible accident. If there were some evidence that the medicine had impaired the driver or caused the seizure, or in the alternative evidence that the driver knew about and regularly had seizures, then it might be a crime. These kinds of cases are generally very thoroughly investigated and take a while to for the state to make a charging decision.

I generally agree with Mr. Joseph. Note, though, that the doctor's opinion is not legally binding. The authorities don't have to accept it. If they believe something else was going on, they can charge you with a crime. You can then offer the doctor's testimony in your case. Here again, it will not be binding. The judge or jury might accept her conclusion or they might not.

With so much at stake, you should get a lawyer right away.
