The defense and prosecutors sparred over the validity of the Missouri State Highway Patrol investigation and questions about a sexual assault Wednesday in the trial of a Mid-Missouri woman accused in a fatal 2012 Montgomery County crash.
The case against Kelli C. Smith, 25, a former Tribune employee and Columbia resident, is expected to finish Thursday in Montgomery County Circuit Court. Smith was charged in May 2012 with involuntary manslaughter for what patrol investigators said was a drunken-driving crash on Interstate 70 near mile marker 170. Smith was traveling west at a slow speed on the eastbound side of the interstate during the early morning on Feb. 25, 2012, when her Nissan hit a Chevy truck head-on. The impact killed Thomas Sullivan, the driver of the Chevy. Smith suffered serious injuries.
