A Robertson County jury convicted Lukas Lee Mansfield on May 7, 2026, on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide following the deaths of his two children, Miah, age 7, and Jackson, age 4 [1]. The prosecution proceeded in the Robertson County Circuit Court, 19th Judicial District, in Springfield, Tennessee, on charges arising from a single-vehicle crash on Jan. 10, 2025 [1]. The trial ran three days, from May 5 through May 7 [1].
Evidence presented at trial established that Mansfield was driving while intoxicated when his vehicle left Highway 161, struck a culvert, became airborne, and hit a utility pole [1]. Both children died as a result of the rollover crash [1]. Prosecutor Robert Nash of the 19th Judicial District Attorney General's Office tried the case for the State [1]. The jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts of aggravated vehicular homicide [1].
Under Tennessee law, aggravated vehicular homicide is a Class A or Class B felony depending on the defendant's prior record and the circumstances of the offense, carrying potential imprisonment of eight years or more per count. A sentencing date has not been publicly reported from the available sources.
No post-trial motion filings or appellate posture have been reported as of this writing [1].
