Beth Ann White to be sentenced in DUI crash that killed mother, son
SUMMARY: Beth Ann White, 52, was found guilty of causing a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son, resulting in life-threatening injuries to the surviving children. She was convicted of four counts of aggravated DUI and faces up to 25 years in prison per count.
