Pontiac woman faces trial in Facebook-feud fatal crash, Jan. 10

PONTIAC (AP) -- A 23-year-old Pontiac woman accused of starting a fatal high-speed chase in a Facebook feud with a woman over the affections of a prison inmate will stand trial. The Oakland Press of Pontiac and Detroit Free Press say Torrie Emery was given a Jan. 10 trial date after prosecutors and defense attorneys were unable to reach a plea deal. Emery faces second-degree murder in the July 21 death of 21-year-old Alesha Abernathy. She also faces assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and second-degree child abuse. Authorities say Emery saw rival Danielle Booth in the passenger seat of Abernathy's car and gave chase. Emery's 3-year-old daughter was riding with her when she rammed Abernathy's car, which sped through an intersection and struck a dump truck. Abernathy died, and Booth was critically hurt.
