Families are making their voices heard following a tragedy in my neighborhood. I'm your neighborhood reporter, Russell Shellberg, here at the Clinton County Courthouse with updates on a case involving the deaths of two people, with even more hurt, in what authorities say was a drunk driving incident.
On May 18th, a family was struck by an alleged drunk driver while walking back to their home. Thirty-year-old Jonathan Esch and 42-year-old Daniel Harris were killed, while many others were left with injuries. Prosecutors say Ashley Marie Monroe had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit at the time of the crash. She is now facing 11 felony charges.
Wednesday marked the second day of her preliminary hearing, and family members recalled that tragic day.
Court is scheduled to pick back up on Friday, starting at 8 a.m.
