DENVER (AP) -- A Denver judge has denied a woman's bid for a mistrial as she fights charges stemming from a crash that killed two Connecticut librarians near the Denver airport.

Sandra Jacobson's attorney tried to seek a mistrial on grounds that some information from a police officer who testified Thursday wasn't provided to Jacobson's defense team ahead of time and that the officer was made aware of testimony from another witness.

Prosecutors allege Jacobson was drunk and speeding when her car collided with a taxi carrying 71-year-old Kate McClelland and 54-year-old Kathleen Krasniewicz last year.

Jacobson faces two counts of vehicular homicide and four other charges. Her attorney has argued the taxi driver was at fault in the crash.
