Description
Rex A. Melton appeals from a jury verdict of guilty of motor vehicle homicide and a maximum sentence imposed of 20 months'
to 5 years' imprisonment. On July 30, 1989, Melton and his friend, Mark Padgett, were involved in a one-car accident. The car swerved; careened off
the Interstate; rolled twice, crushing the passenger side of the roof; and came to rest on its top. Witnesses who stopped
were able to assist in pulling the defendant out of the vehicle; however, they were not able to free Padgett, who had been
pinned between the roof and the dash of the car. The police and rescue squad arrived shortly thereafter, finding Padgett deceased
due to massive head injuries and Melton loud and belligerent. After conducting a part of the investigation, two police investigators
went to visit Melton at the hospital. Witnesses to the accident had not been able to identify which occupant had been driving
the vehicle involved in the accident.
