Opening Statements made in Fresno DUI trial where mother of 11 was killed

In July 2008 Chou Thao Her was killed in an auto accident, leaving behind 11 children. The Clovis District Attorney is attempting to show that Donna Neely was driving under the influence of alcohol when she lost control of her vehicle. Neely is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter and Fresno DUI with injury. Neely's defense team rises the argument that the tragic accident was not caused by alcohol but rather by a common sleep aide Ambien which caused her to fall asleep at the wheel. The death of Chou Thao Her is an absolute tragedy that leaves 11 children to grow up without their mother but some tragedies are accidents caused by things not related to alcohol. In these kinds of Fresno DUI cases a qualified Fresno Drunk Driving Defense Attorney will raise defenses to the prosecutor's arguments.
