The Columbia woman convicted of involuntary manslaughter for driving the wrong way on I-70 in 2012 and killing a man is asking to be acquitted or to get a new trial.
Kelli Smith was convicted in December after a week long jury trial. A main point during the trial was whether she was drunk or given the date rape drunk and raped before the crash.
Smith’s defense lawyer, Jennifer Bukowsky, filed the request for a new trial Tuesday afternoon, citing 55 reasons why Smith should be acquitted or get a new trial.
