Not guilty pleas to three charges from a 19 year old east side woman accused in the death of a 19 year old man New Year's day. Erika Simms of Loch Lomand Road was charged after a car ran into a pole on Sand Cove Road near Driftwood Lane.
Defense lawyer Dave Lutz offered to plead guilty to dangerous driving causing death but not guilty to the impaired charges causing death. The offer was rejected by the prosecution.
Simms will return to court November 4th at which time a trial date will be scheduled.
The prosecuter told the court she expected the trial to last five days but Lutz believes it will be more like three.
Members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving were in the court as well.
