Description

On the evening of March 3, 1964, defendant (appellant) and his wife went out for an evening of dining and dancing. Defendant testified he had ""two or three drinks"" during the course of the evening and arrived home about 2:00 a. m. on the morning of March 4, 1964. Later that morning defendant drove to Nyssa, Oregon, and upon returning to Idaho at about noon stopped at a local bar on U. S. highway 30. In the bar he ordered two drinks and a ham sandwich. He drank one drink and half of the other and ate the sandwich. He then went back to his car in the parking lot at approximately 1:30 p. m. and slept in the car until 3:30 p. m. On awaking he drove from the parking lot east on highway 30 toward Nampa. He passed a car going the same direction, the driver of which testified that defendant was ""going at an exceedingly [sic] rate of speed."" About midway between Caldwell and Nampa, defendant came up behind other cars proceeding in the same direction. He testified, ""I was going faster than I should have been; and I remember coming up behind these two or three cars and passing them, and then the dog jumped over my lap and I went down and pushed the dog back like that (indicating); and when I looked up, it looked like there was three or four cars in front of me; so I slammed my brakes on and rode, coming closer to the cars; and then I started to go left, and there was a car coming towards me; I think it was a pickup, as I remember it, so I just slipped right straight across in front of the building. I headed right for the building. I saw the kid, but it wasn't just a second before I hit him.""
