Justice RIVERA-SOTO,
dissenting.
I would reverse the judgment of the Appellate Division and reinstate count five of the indictment against defendant Michael Lisa—charging him with the second-degree reckless manslaughter of a seventeen-year-old girl—substantially for the reasons Judge Lihotz persuasively set forth in her dissent. State v. Lisa, 391 N.J.Super. 556, 581-88, 919 A.2d 145 (App.Div.2007) (Lihotz, J., dissenting). I therefore respectfully dissent.
For affirmance—Chief Justice RABNER, and Justices LONG, LaVECCHIA, ALBIN, WALLACE and HOENS—6.
For reversal—Justice RIVERA-SOTO—1.
