As you may remember, MAC Member Steve Carver's nephew Donnie Rawls' life was taken from him by Wanda Benson. Ms Benson crossed the center line and crashed into Donnie's motorcycle while he was on his way to work. MAC has been following this tragedy for nearly two years now. The toxicology test has confirmed that Benson was drinking at the time of the crash.

Ms Benson will appear before the Court Friday, May 8.
