Kristina Chambers Gets 11 Years, 14 Days for 2023 Montrose Porsche Crash

Toxicology plus video evidence underpinned the manslaughter verdict.

Overview

  • Jurors imposed a $10,000 fine along with the prison term, with the extra 14 days cited as a nod to victim Joseph McMullin’s Nov. 14 birthday.
  • Chambers is four months pregnant and is expected to give birth while in state custody, according to court statements.
  • Court records reported a blood alcohol level about four times the legal limit, and surveillance footage of the crash featured prominently at trial.
  • The defense argued her high-heel shoe became trapped under the gas pedal, a theory a defense expert said was possible as prosecutors derided it.
  • McMullin’s family is pursuing a separate wrongful-death lawsuit that remains pending.
