They ticketed him for failure to maintain

lane control and was dismissed. Now they

are trying to charge him with negligent

Re: negligent homicide

You say they are 'trying to charge him' -- has he been charged? He needs a lawyer. If no traffic offense was committed at the time of the accident, this might be stopped at the grand jury stage. If there was a traffic offense, then it still might not rise to the level of criminally-negligent homicide. Get a lawyer.
