Trial for Cyclist Magnus White's Death Continues

Yeva Smilianska is on trial for the vehicular homicide of 17-year-old cyclist Magnus White, who was killed on July 29, 2023, during a training ride in Boulder County, Colorado. The defense acknowledges that Smilianska struck White but argues she did not drive recklessly, despite allegations she fell asleep at the wheel, and Smilianska denies being intoxicated, despite evidence of drinking the night before. Testimonies from friends and witnesses have been presented, and the prosecution has rested its case as the trial progresses. Smilianska, a Ukrainian refugee, faces a class 4 felony charge of reckless vehicular homicide. The White family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit and started a nonprofit to advocate for safer roads.
