Matter of Sweetser, 22 I.
& N. Dec. 709 (BIA May 19, 1999) (Colorado conviction
of criminally negligent child abuse under sections 18-6-401(1)
and (7) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, where negligence
in leaving stepson alone in a bathtub resulted in the childs
death, was not a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 16(b),
because there was no "substantial risk that physical
force" would be used in the commission of the crime,
and the conviction was therefore not an aggravated felony
under INA § 101(a)(43)(F), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(F)).
