La. Stat. tit. 14 § 12
Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
Criminal negligence exists when, although neither specific nor general criminal intent is present, there is such disregard of the interest of others that the offender's conduct amounts to a gross deviation below the standard of care expected to be maintained by a reasonably careful man under like circumstances.
