WATCH: Woman accused in fatal drunk driving crash in Clinton County appears in court
I was at the Clinton County Courthouse Tuesday where Ashley Monroe appeared for what was originally scheduled as her sentencing hearing. The proceeding instead became a motion hearing after Monroe requested to change her legal counsel.
Monroe pleaded no contest in August to nine counts related to events in May 2024, when police say she was driving drunk when she hit a family on South Wacousta Road.
Two people were killed and more than a dozen were injured in the crash.
During Tuesday's hearing, the judge informed the court that Monroe no longer wished to make the change in representation and will stay with Edward Zeineh as her attorney.
A firm sentencing date was set for October 15.
