GRANTS PASS, Ore. – A young mother facing charges in the fatal crash that killed her son appeared in court for the first time Thursday.
21-year-old Amanda McFarland faced a judge Thursday afternoon.
She was arrested Tuesday night by the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office after the agency says she caused a wreck that killed her 2-year old son. Police say she was driving under the influence.
The prosecutor said it’s a unique case as both the defendant and victim are from the same family.
McFarland is facing multiple charges, including manslaughter and DUII.
