YOUNGSTOWN – The aggravated vehicular homicide trial scheduled to begin today before Mahoning Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney has been delayed until July 6.
A spokeswoman for Sweeney’s court announced the case against Michael Malvasi II has been continued, but she did not give a reason why jury selection was postponed this morning.
Malvasi’s attorney John Juhasz did not immediately return a call seeking comment about the delay.
Malvasi, 30, of Timber Run Drive Road, Canfield, is charged in the Nov. 18, 2017, traffic death of Ryan Lanzo, 23, of Boardman, who prosecutors say was a passenger in Malvasi’s car, which crashed on a curve along Shields Road in Canfield Township.
