MARSHELLA MARIE CHIDESTER | Drunk Michigan Grandmother Found Guilty of Murder After Crashing Car Into Birthday Party, Killing 2 Children, Injuring 15 | Autographed Letter Signed
LongfellowSerenade 67
Marshella Marie Chidester, 67, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and multiple counts related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated after crashing her car into a building during a child's birthday party, resulting in the deaths of two siblings and injuries to several others. Chidester's blood alcohol content was reported at 0.18, more than twice the legal limit in Michigan, had Gabapentin in her blood, and witnesses described the scene as chaotic with many injured attendees. Her defense attorney claims that Chidester suffers from seizures that may have impaired her driving ability and argues that her BAC results could have been compromised. The trial began on March 3, 2025, with jury selection completed; prosecutors are focusing on establishing Chidester's intoxication through witness testimonies and expert evidence. Eyewitness accounts and video footage are expected to play a significant role in the prosecution's case against Chidester.
