A new trial will be held in February for an Edgewood woman who was sentenced to 10-years in prison in a fatal UTV accident

A new trial will be held for an Edgewood woman who had been sentenced to 10-years in prison in connection with a fatal UTV accident. 29-year old Hannah L. Meese pleaded guilty to one count of homocide by vehicle-reckless driving. Meese was charged in connection with a May 2021 UTV accident in which she lost control of the vehicle. Meese and a passenger, 32-year old Jordan C. Cabalka of Edgewood were ejected from the vehicle. Cabalka died from inuries sustained in the accident. Meese was seriously injured and court documents state she had a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit. A judge has ruled that District Judge Monica Zrinyi Ackley erred by rejecting a plea agreement in which Meese had pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. A new trial date is set for February 4^th-
