The case against a woman accused of drunkenly crashing her vehicle into a building during a child’s birthday party, killing two kids and injuring 15 people, will remain in Monroe County.
Attorneys for Marshella Chidester requested a change of venue. The courts denied that request on Jan. 17, records show. She is facing a slew of charges, including murder and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, for the crash into Swan Boat Club in Newport, Michigan that killed young siblings Zayn and Alanah Phillips on April 20, 2024. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
