A 27-year-old Columbia woman won’t face a second trial in the death of a man she slammed into while driving her SUV the wrong way on Interstate 70 more than four years ago.
Kelli Smith on Monday entered an Alford plea on one count of careless and imprudent driving, a misdemeanor, one week before her second involuntary manslaughter trial was set to begin. In such a plea, the defendant doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence for a conviction.
