The Charlotte Observer reported that 45-year-old Carlene Atkinson of Lake Wylie, S.C., and 21-year-old Tyler Stasko of Matthews pleaded not guilty Thursday to three counts each of second-degree murder.
Police say the two were racing at speeds of up to 100 mph on N.C. 49 last April when Stasko's car hit a car driven by a Winthrop University professor, Cynthia Furr. Furr, her 2-year-old daughter and a teenager in Stasko's car were killed.
Atkinson was charged even though her car wasn't involved in the wreck. Prosecutors say she has been convicted 15 times for speeding and left the crash scene without calling for help.
