Colorado Springs Criminal Attorney & DUI Lawyer Jeremy Loew
Vehicular Homicide Defense in Colorado
Vehicular homicide, as defined by Colorado law, occurs when the operation of a motor vehicle leads to another person’s death. This charge can arise under two primary circumstances: reckless driving or driving under the influence (DUI/DWAI).
Both variations carry serious legal consequences, but a defense strategy tailored by an experienced Colorado Springs Criminal Defense attorney like Jeremy Loew can make a crucial difference.
Degrees and Penalties
Colorado law treats DUI-related fatalities more severely than reckless-driving cases:
Consequences frequently include lengthy license suspension, mandatory parole, and eligibility for restitution to victims’ families.
Legal Complexity and Defense Strategy
Vehicular homicide charges are complex. A successful defense by Jeremy Loew often involves:
- Challenging Proximate Cause – Demonstrating that the defendant’s driving was not the proximate cause of the collision.
- Disputing Recklessness or Impairment – Presenting evidence, such as expert testimony or breathalyzer calibration reports, that undermines claims of reckless conduct or intoxication.
- Exploring Alternative Theories – Including sudden mechanical failure, medical emergencies, poor forensic science, or issues with drug/alcohol testing.
- Negotiating Lesser Charges – Seeking reduction to manslaughter or negligent homicide, which carry lesser prison and parole terms.

Recent Nevada/Boulder Example: Reckless Vehicular Homicide
A recent case in Boulder County illustrates the potential severity of these charges. In April 2025, a jury convicted Yeva Smilianska of reckless vehicular homicide after the 2023 death of 17-year-old cyclist Magnus White, cyclingnews.com. The sentencing range for reckless vehicular homicide in Colorado is typically 2–6 years, but the jury found reckless conduct due to falling asleep at the wheel; sentencing was set for June 13, 2025 .
This case underscores how courts may treat fatalities involving vulnerable road users—especially cyclists—as particularly egregious.
