Marshella Marie Chidester, 66, was in court Tuesday for arraignment on eight charges, including two counts of second-degree murder.

Chidester is accused of being drunk and crashing her SUV into the Swan Boat Club in Berlin Township around 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Two children -- Alanah Phillips, 8, and Zayn Phillips, 5 -- were killed, and their mother, older brother, and at least eight others were injured.

Police claim Chidester’s blood-alcohol level was “significantly” over the legal limit, according to a Monroe County prosecutor. The prosecutor also said that Chidester admitted at the scene that she had been drinking when she shouldn’t have been.

Chidester’s attorney, Bill Colovos, told a different story on Tuesday.

“Sometimes you have a seizure and your leg seizes up,” Colovos said.

The defense claims Chidester only had one glass of wine on the day of the crash. Colovos said she ordered that drink between 11 a.m. and noon, citing records from the nearby tavern.[/quote][/quote]
