Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:
  • The offense of motor vehicle homicide, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24G(a), requires proof that the defendant was both under the influence of liquor and operating recklessly or negligently so as to endanger, and that such operation caused the victim's death. The statute goes on to identify two misdemeanor crimes of motor vehicle homicide, one predicated on driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs, the other on driving recklessly or negligently so as to endanger, and thereby causing the death of another. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24G(b).
  • The offense of operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor causing serious bodily injury, pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24L(1), requires proof that the defendant was both under the influence of liquor and operating recklessly or negligently so as to endanger, and that such operation caused serious injury to the victim. That statute provides for only one form of misdemeanor, the crime of operating while under the influence of liquor causing serious bodily injury. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24L(2).
