Criminal liability for traffic negligence that causes the loss of life of another person in Decision Number 1785 is in the form of imprisonment for 4 years and 2 months. The judge's consideration in the case of traffic negligence that causes the loss of life of another person in decision number 1785 is quite appropriate. However, the proof of the element "Due to negligence resulting in a traffic accident" only uses evidence of the defendant's statement, while other evidence is not explained.
