DENVER—Attorneys are delivering opening arguments in the trial of a woman accused of driving drunk and killing two Connecticut librarians heading to the airport in a taxi.
Sandra Jacobson faces vehicular homicide charges in the February 2009 accident that killed 71-year-old Kate McClelland and 54-year-old Kathy Krasniewicz. Opening arguments in the case are scheduled for Tuesday morning.
McClelland and Kransniewicz were going to the airport after a Denver convention.
Police say Jacobson was driving with a suspended license at the time and had a blood-alcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit.
Jacobson told investigators she took cold medicine before and after the crash. Her attorney argues that may have affected the sobriety tests.
