California Court of Appeal April 2, 2009, A120628 (People v. Dawson)

Opinion

RICHMAN, J.

Defendant William Russell Dawson was charged with five crimes, two of which were felonies: vessel manslaughter while intoxicated and unlawful operation of a vessel while intoxicated resulting in bodily injury.
