Would you have brought charges without the amount of media attention that Kevin and Carissa brought to this case?

Sunny White pleaded not guilty and posted Bond immediately, $100,000. I reached out to her for an interview and didn't hear back. Now that Sunny had been arrested, Kevin and Carissa had a new goal. They announced it to the media at a press conference outside the Lake County Courthouse.

Forgiving Sunny was easier than he thought. He wasn't angry at her. He was angry at Montana and Lake County for how they handled this case. For how they handled Bonnie's and Trisha's cases, too. It was the state's fault that a driver could leave a native pedestrian to die on the side of the road and think she'd get away with it. A trial date was set for December 2024.

LaPaka invited Carissa and Kevin to his office for another meeting. He had some good news. The case had become so high profile that the Montana Attorney General's office sent in one of its best trial attorneys, Thorne Geist. And he'd gotten Micah's blood alcohol content excluded from trial. This was a big win for Carissa and Kevin. Micah had been over the legal limit for walking on the road.
