MONROE COUNTY, Mich. – The trial for a woman accused of drunk driving and crashing her car through a birthday party, killing two children, in Monroe County begins Monday.
Jury selection for Marshella Chidester’s trial begins on March 3, 2025.
According to police, her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when she crashed into the Swan Boat Club in April 2024. Her lawyers argue she had one glass of wine.
Two siblings, who were 8 and 4 years old, died in the crash, and several others were hurt.
If she is found guilty, Chidester could face life in prison.
