Judge upholds two year sentence in teen death crash
Johnson County judge keeps Zachary Swenka 20 on two year prison term after guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter in the 2011 Highway 6 crash that killed Mackenzie Lown 14. Swenka sought probation arguing new defense evidence, but the court rejected requests and noted the victim’s family urging accountability. The district also has settlement actions involving Clear Creek Amana School District and related lawsuits.
