DENVER—A Colorado woman facing vehicular homicide charges in the deaths of two Connecticut women has lost her bid to keep a jury from hearing the results of her alcohol test.
Sandra Jacobson is accused of causing an accident in February that killed 71-year-old Kate McClelland and 54-year-old Kathy Krasniewicz.
They were librarians headed to the Denver airport in a taxi after a convention.
Jacobson’s attorney argued Friday that officers didn’t have probable cause to test her because they didn’t smell alcohol on her breath. The tests showed her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.
The judge ruled that Jacobson’s behavior and other factors justified the tests. The judge noted officers said Jacobson acted erratically and appeared confused.
