YOUNGSTOWN Mahoning County Common Pleas Court officials have sent a notice to Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare in Columbus and asked officials to evaluate
YOUNGSTOWN The aggravated vehicular homicide trial of Michael G. Malvasi II, which has been scheduled and then postponed four times since COVID-19 began, looks possible for Monday on the fifth try.
It will be heard by Judge Maureen Sweeney of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, who has requested additional jurors be called to the courthouse in an effort to overcome COVID-19 concerns.
A Nov. 18, 2017, crash killed passenger Ryan Lanzo, 23, of Boardman, resulting in Malvasi’s charges. The charges were almost three years old when the trial was reset last October.
Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Mike Yacovone expressed disappointment when that postponement took place.
