Marshella Marie Chidester, aged 66, faces second-degree murder and DUI charges following a fatal crash at a Michigan boat club.

The incident resulted in two children's deaths and injuries to 13 other individuals.

Chidester's defense alleges a seizure precipitated the crash, but prosecutors insist on intoxication.

Her bond is set at $1.5 million, with a potential life sentence upon conviction.

Community support has manifested in a GoFundMe campaign, amassing over $178,000 for the victims.

Law enforcement is seeking additional information from the public regarding the case.

Chidester's reported history of seizures and consumption of alcohol prior to the crash are central to the competing narratives of the defense and prosecution.
