A motorist, having caused a collision while driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding, was convicted of involuntary homicide and causing injuries, and the lower court also ordered the confiscation of the vehicle, prompting an appeal regarding the seizure. The high court upheld the conviction and the confiscation order, reasoning that the confiscation was a legal penalty applicable to the offense of involuntary homicide committed by a driver who was intoxicated and speeding, as the weapon used in the infraction was the vehicle itself, thus justifying the measure irrespective of ownership.
