Update Wednesday morning

DENVER (AP) — Jurors have reached a verdict in the case of a woman accused of driving drunk and killing two Connecticut librarians who were in a taxi going to the airport last year. An announcement is expected Wednesday morning.

Forty-one-year-old Sandra Jacobson faces two counts of vehicular homicide for the January 2009 crash that killed 71-year-old Kate McClelland and 54-year-old Kathleen Krasniewicz, both of Greenwich, Conn. Jurors began deliberations Tuesday afternoon and will resume Wednesday morning.

Jacobson's defense attorney say the accident was the taxi driver's fault and that Jacobson drank after the crash but was sober when the accident happened.

Prosecutors say she was speeding and had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit.
