Keungne v. U.S. Attorney General, ___ F.3d ___ (11th Cir. Mar. 10, 2009) (Georgia conviction of criminal reckless conduct, under Ga. Code Ann. 16-5-60(b) ["causes bodily harm to or endangers the bodily safety of another person by consciously disregarding a substantial and unjustifiable risk that his act or omission will cause harm or endanger the safety of the other person and the disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation"], constitutes a crime of moral turpitude for purposes of establishing deportability, pursuant to INA 237(a)(2)(A)(i), 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(i), for one conviction of a CMT within five years of admission, because the minimum conduct for which conviction can be had requires conscious disregard of a substantial risk of serious harm or death to another).


NOTE: This is a bad decision, since it did not consider that not all reckless conduct necessarily involves moral turpitude.
