Victim Impact Statements Highlight Tensions in Melissa Hoskins' Death Case

Family members of the late Olympic cyclist express grief and frustration over Rohan Dennis's actions and lack of remorse as sentencing approaches.

Melissa Hoskins, a two-time Olympian, tragically died in December 2023 after being struck by a car driven by her husband, Rohan Dennis.
Rohan Dennis pleaded guilty to an aggravated charge of creating a likelihood of harm but is not criminally responsible for her death.
During court hearings on April 14, 2025, family members delivered emotional victim impact statements, describing the incident as a tragic accident but criticizing Dennis's lack of apology and perceived self-victimization.
Prosecutors detailed Dennis's reckless actions during the incident, while his defense argued for a suspended sentence, citing his grief and focus on his children.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 14, 2025, with potential penalties including up to seven years in prison and a five-year loss of license.
