The felony trial of Lynlee Pollis regarding a September 2023 car crash in Dallas, Texas, focused on charges of intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault. The incident, which killed 19-year-old Southern Methodist University student Honor Wallace and injured Catherine “CeCe” Solberg, involved Pollis traveling at speeds between 63 and 67 mph in a 35 mph zone and running a red light.

During the trial, toxicology testimony indicated Pollis had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.294%, nearly four times the legal limit. While defense attorneys contested the intoxication claims by suggesting blood evidence might be tainted, Pollis was ultimately convicted.

Following her conviction, Pollis was sentenced to seven years in prison and ten years of probation. State District Judge Jennifer Balido imposed specific parole conditions requiring Pollis to report to jail for 15 days annually for a decade. These mandatory days must include Christmas, Pollis’ birthday, the birthdays of both victims, and the anniversary of the crash. During the proceedings, the families of the victims expressed frustration regarding what they perceived as a “lack of accountability” from the defendant.
