« 3 teens hurt in Glocester car crash / Photo | Today | Lawyers' payment in lead-paint case debated » April 3, 2006Updated: Hearing delayed for driver accused in hit-runPROVIDENCE -- A probation violation hearing for the North Smithfield woman facing charges after a fatal hit-and-run accident in Glocester last month was continued today until April 24, according to Michael J. Healey, spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office. Lori J. Benoit will continue to be held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston until her next Superior Court hearing, Healey said. At Benoit’s request, her lawyer, John D. Lynch Jr., asked the court to continue the hearing until a later date, Healey said. The state did not object. Benoit has been charged with crashing her car into a group of friends at about 1 a.m. on March 18, killing Robert George, 36, of Glocester, and Jason Roy, 36, of Rehoboth, Mass., and injuring three others. The state is seeking to have Benoit held at the ACI for two years for violating the terms of an earlier court matter, Healey said. "Given the seriousness of the new allegations against her, we think it's appropriate," he added. Benoit pleaded no contest in February 2005 to charges of cocaine possession, obstructing a police officer, disorderly conduct and simple assault. She received suspended sentences and probation.

There was another case in Rhode Island about 14 months ago involving a drunk driving woman who injured another woman named Sherri. It was the drunk driver's 15-16th DUI. She is now serving 7 years. Is there any info on that case available?
