Bentley’s law: Grandma aims to make DUI offenders pay victims’ orphaned kids
Bentley, 5, and Mason, 3, visiting the site of their parents’ and sibling’s accident site. A grandmother from Missouri is working with her state representative to create a law that would seek financial restitution from DUI offenders whose actions resulted in the death of a parent or guardian. Cecilia Williams introduced the idea of Bentley’s law after her son, Cordell Williams, 30, his fiance, Lacey Newton, 25, and their 4-month-old son, Cordell II, were all killed in a DUI crash in April. The driver of the offending vehicle, David Thurby, was charged with three counts of DWI death of another.
