Posted on by admin


It looks like another delay in the trial of Washington State Trooper Sarah Clasen.

Court Sets New November Trial Date for WSP Trooper Sarah Clasen

Court records show that her trial date has been moved again to November 11th, 2026.

This will be the fourth time the trial date has been moved for the former Washington State trooper, Sarah Clasen, who is accused of killing 20-year-old Jhoser Vega Sanchez in a suspected DUI crash in March 2025.

The repeated rescheduling has prolonged the legal proceedings for the victim’s family and the community, as the court continues to push back the date for a case that has drawn significant regional attention.
