A Riverdale

woman accused of murder for the death of a Peachtree City man in an auto

crash while she was being chased by police in July was denied bond Tuesday

morning.

The trial against

Lorraine McCrary, 37, will begin Monday morning. Superior Court Judge

Johnnie L. Caldwell Jr. denied McCrary's request for bond, citing her

attorney's failure to file a motion requesting bond.

McCrary is

charged with murder, vehicular homicide, attempting to elude a police

officer, speeding, a child safety restraint violation and two counts of

reckless conduct. She has pled not guilty to the charges.

The crash killed

Chuck Vicha of Peachtree City as he attempted to turn left onto Ga. Highway

54 just outside the eastern city limits the evening of July 27, according

to police. Three children in McCrary's car at the time of the crash were

also injured.

McCrary was

being pursued by officers from the Luthersville Police Department moments

before the accident. She is still recovering from her injuries and is

bound to a wheelchair; she is incarcerated at a jail facility outside

Fayette County that specializes in providing medical treatment for prisoners.
