‘The state just keeps on letting us down’ – driver who killed Magnus White considered for residential re-entry, months into sentence

Magnus White and his parents.

Just six months after beginning her prison sentence for killing Team USA teen cyclist Magnus White, driver Yeva Smilianska is being considered for transfer to a halfway house. This development has disappointed and angered the White family, which fought for nearly two years to secure criminal accountability in their son’s death.

In June, Smilianska was sentenced to four years in state prison for vehicular homicide and reckless driving, followed by three years of mandatory parole. She is not eligible for parole until April 1, 2027, and her mandatory release date is set for April 1, 2029.
