Jury deliberations continue in trial of woman accused in crash that killed Marquette students
CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A jury holds the fate of the woman accused of causing a crash that killed two Marquette students last September.
Deliberations have been underway for about five hours Thursday, with jurors asking to rewatch video of the crash. It comes after the jury asked five other questions Wednesday, asking to see evidence again and wondering if they could consider the other driver's actions.
Throughout the week, we've seen several different angles of this crash in the intersection of N. 27th St. and W. St. Paul Avenue.
The jury, made up of seven women and five men, is currently deciding if 42-year-old Amandria Brunner is guilty in the deaths of 19-year-old Scott Michaud and 20-year-old Noah Snyder.
Brunner was stopped in the left turn lane, later driving through a yellow light which turned red as she got to the intersection.
Coming from the other direction was Peter McColgan, driving with five other Marquette University students in his car. He was reportedly going 53 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone at the time of the crash, also allegedly trying to beat the yellow light. He too is charged in the crash.
Prosecutors say Brunner was driving high and drunk, at nearly twice the legal limit.
If found guilty, Brunner would spend the rest of her life in prison, as she faces six felony charges.
Once a verdict comes in, we'll stream it live online.
