A 66-year-old Michigan woman has been arraigned on second-degree murder and other charges after prosecutors say she drunkenly smashed her SUV into a boat club that was hosting a young boy's birthday party, killing him and his sister and injuring several other people. Marshella Chidester didn't enter a plea Tuesday to the eight counts she faces in Saturday’s tragic crash at the Swan Boat Club in Monroe County. During a court hearing that was livestreamed, Chidester’s right arm was in a cast from just above the elbow to her fingers. She has been jailed since the crash and the judge set her bond at the $1.5 million prosecutors requested. The crash killed 8-year-old Alanah Phillips and her 4-year-old brother, Zayn.
