Overview

• Jacob McDonald, 60, is on trial for aggravated vehicular homicide after a 2022 crash on I-70 killed six people, including three high school students.
• The defense presented two forensic experts, arguing the crash was a tragic accident rather than a result of recklessness.
• Prosecutors scrutinized the defense's key expert, Sebastian van Nooten, highlighting errors in his report and his failure to review the NTSB's findings.
• Van Nooten's credibility was further questioned after admitting to miscalculations in cruise control data and an inaccurate fatality count in his report.
• Judge David Branstool will deliver the verdict early next week, with McDonald facing over 30 years in prison if convicted.
