People v. Rennie

Defendant was convicted of two counts of aggravated DUI and sentenced to concurrent terms of six and two years in prison. At age 16, driving at night for the first time, she crossed the center line and struck and injured a motorcyclist and killed his wife. Blood test revealed cannabis in her system. DUI statute does not violate due process or equal protection, as statute treats all persons who ingest illegal substances the same and bears rational relationship to state's legitimate interest in protecting public from drivers whose driving ability may be impaired by consuming controlled substances. It was not improper for court to consider degree of harm suffered by victim, and sentence was not an abuse of discretion. (HOLDRIDGE, concurring; SCHMIDT, specially concurring.)
