Statement from The White Family on the Sentencing in the Magnus White Case

June 16, 2025

BOULDER, CO (June 16, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ –  Today, the driver who killed our son Magnus was sentenced to 4 years in prison, with eligibility of parole after 2 years served, for felony vehicular homicide. This outcome is devastating.

The sentence handed down does not reflect the gravity of her choices, or the life that was stolen. She stayed up all night, mixing prescription drugs with alcohol, drinking whiskey into the morning, and very likely using cocaine. Then she got behind the wheel and killed our son. She lied to the police. She lied to investigators. She was never drug tested, but Magnus was.

Our son is gone forever. The system that failed him that day, has failed him again today.

This was also never just about one driver. From day one, this case exposed systemic breakdowns: lost evidence, protocols failed to be followed, no sobriety testing, no urgency. Magnus was failed by more than one person. He was failed by a process that protects reckless drivers over innocent victims.

We are heartbroken. We are furious. And we are not done. We are calling on lawmakers, advocates, and every person who believes this is unacceptable to stand with us. Demand mandatory blood draws in fatal and serious injury crashes. Demand real investigative standards. Demand a system that values human life over bureaucratic convenience.

So many things failed Magnus that day. The sentence today is one more failure. We will continue to fight for Magnus, and for so many like him.

– Jill & Michael White
