The accused killer of a mother and her baby will remain in jail awaiting indictment after Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels denied her bond yesterday. Beth Ann White was charged with two counts of aggravated DUI – death after she allegedly plowed into another vehicle on Highway 18 a month ago, killing Allison Conaway and her infant son. The District Attorney will present the case to the grand jury at its next term.
A test taken several hours after the crash at the hospital showed her BAC to be 0.16. A trooper testified there were partially full liquor bottles in her vehicle.
JJ submitted a public records request for copy of the arrest report from the Mississippi Highway Patrol but the agency said, get this, no such report existed.
White has a history of DUI arrests. JJ reported on November 3:
Posted below are the court records JJ has managed to unearth so far.
* Case #16-cr-0035: White was charged with an unspecified misdemeanor in 2016. The case was dismissed October 8, 2021 by Special County Court Judge Jess Dickinson. The case was prosecuted by the city of Jackson.
* Case #16-cr-00789: A MHP trooper arrested White on February 17, 2015 four DUI. Hines County Justice Court Judge Tabitha Britton – Porter found White guilty and sentenced her to to pay a $1,000 fine on June 10, 2016. However, she appealed the County Court. The case languished on the docket until Special County Court Judge Jess Dickinson dismissed it a year ago due to the age of the case.
* Case #15-cr-00176: A Jackson Municipal Court Judge convicted her of DUI, careless driving, and driving on the wrong side of the street. White appealed to Hinds County Court. Special County Court Judge Jess Dickinson dismissed the case on October 4, 2021 after the prosecution said it could not prosecute the case due to "reasons beyond its control."
Attorney Marc Brand represented White in the above cases.
Court records show a DUI felony indictment in 2008 against her as well. White pleaded guilty. Judge Tomie Green sentenced her to serve five years in MDOC but suspended four year of the sentence and placed her under house arrest for one year. Judge Green terminated her probation in 2017.
Allison Conaway's other two children remain in the hospital.

I'll drink to that decision.
A "Top Shelf" decision...
.." Not her happiest hour"...
If her case does nothing else it should raise public disgust with the slow pace of appeals from justice and municipal court to county court. At the very least DUI cases should be given a priority so that they are not simply dismissed like parking tickets when they become "stale". It's ridiculous.
What happened to Kingfish's frequent chant of 'entitled to bail'?
"Plowed into"...emotion much from the 'unbiased correspondent'?
Standing by for the 'start your own blog' chirpers...
white supremacists consider the white lush to be superior to her deceased African-American victims
>Judge Tomie Green
Explains a lot.
The politics of bail in Hinds County. If a thug kills a thug or even an innocent child during a drive-by the thug gets very low bail and may not even to go trial.
But a white woman allegedly tragically kills some people in a DUI incident she does not get bail. Sounds kind of racist to me.

You're entitled to bail if your record doesn't show that you're a threat. Considering her past bail is correctly denied.
Could someone explain to this non-lawyer what a "Special County Court Judge" is?
Also, why has Judge Jess Dickinson cleared the charges in her previous cases? Is that a "get out of a sentence" legal strategy... to appeal the sentence and wait for it to die in the system? Just curious. Seems like this lady should have been behind bars well before now.

If I ran a film in front of you jackson could have a drive in theater again.
@ 10:57
which comment on ANY thread on this page regarding this case suggests that white people, in general, feel that way? Oh, that's right, there isn't one.
Why?
Because white folks generally feel that since this dumbass killed a mother and child that she should be locked up (or worse). We mourn the loss of these innocent people. Sorry, charlie your narrative doesn't apply here.
Something tells me you have a man bun and graduated from Millsaps.
this person deserves to rot in jail, as do the shooters of all those murders. she’s no different.
10:57. 12:20 is 100 percent right.
real consequences for crime reduces it.
11:06, wrong. This lady should rot in jail.
Signed, white guy in Hinds.
If she had used a Glock in a drive-by, this wouldn't have even made the news.
I gotta ask, if this was at 18 and Springridge, there’s a stoplight. Even drunk, how do you fuck that up?
November 30, 2021 at 11:06 AM; but it's not racist, precisely for the racist reason you already stated. black thugs getting low bail for killing black folks and white ladies not getting bail for killing black folks, is what the LSDPC crowd (liberal, socialist, democrat, progressive, communist), would call "restorative justice" or "justice equity." you know, cause of systemic racism and shit.
with that being said, let's drop the "allegedly." this alcoholic piece of shit murdered that woman and her baby, and put two other kids in the hospital. not much different than somebody waving a revolver with only 1 bullet around in a crowded room and pulling the trigger. the gun may not even go off. but if it did, it might not shoot anybody. but if it did, they might just get wounded. but it could also hit someone in the head. she's a killer, and should never see the outside of a jail again, i don't care if she, or her victims, are white or black.
@1:48... i heard she passed out at said red light. when the light turned green the traffic behind her blew their horns and startled her awake after the light was red again. She just took off without noticing the color of the light. again, this is all rumor.
I know it, and you know it. If this girl were black and this happened in the city of Jackson, she would be driving the city streets as we speak. This is as race driven as any of the 50’s and 60’s race issues. The real loser is Jackson. The people (black and white) who can afford to leave are doing just that, to benefit of Ridgeland and Madison (city) and various other small towns.
Unfortunately, I have witnessed an accident at that intersection and driven up to a couple of others. Usually it is some a-hole running a light because they can't be bothered to stop.
The same way drunk drivers travel on the entirely wrong side of the interstate, 1:48.
All while dozens of Do Not Enter signs exist as well as oncoming traffic headlights clearly indicate they are in the wrong.
They are drunk.
Why does this case require a grand jury?
Who ever was at fault probably had their face buried in their phone. I really would like to see a report and eye witness account of what happened. A young mother and child lost their life.
I witnessed a wreck years ago involving two intoxicated drivers. The driver at fault died, he crossed the center double yellow line and hit the other guy head on. The other driver did what he could to avoid the guy and was clearly not at fault from what I saw BUT he was convicted of and locked up for dui mutilation/disfigurement. Even with my statement and testimony he was still locked up for a number of years.
1:48, come through there as the sun is setting and you can barely see the light. Not making excuses at all, what she did was terrible, but that intersection has a history of bad wrecks late in the evening when the sun sets low.
1:48 here.
Hello all, too many to respond to, so mass message. When I was 17, I literally drank 3 fifths of vodka over a 36 hour period. At no point did I fall asleep. At no point would I have ever run a stoplight. At no point did I hallucinate and assume I was on a roller coaster at Didney Lan. She absolutely at some point had to have been on some kind of old lady, weak-human, dipshit psych meds or pain killers “for muh back!!” Still CANNOT under any circumstances understand those fuckwits that drive the wrong way on the interstate, makes zero sense at all unless you’ve eaten 12 sheets of high powered blotter acid. Are The Olds just incapable of handling their shit?
You lost me at the lie about the Vodka.
I would barf and pass out if I consumed 6 drinks.
I have friends who can drink twice that and feel little to no ill-effects.
In conclusion, I'd advise against assuming your own personal tolerance and reaction to alcohol is the only normal one 1:48.
A drunk driver who was previously arrested for drunk driving and released back into society caused the death of two people. How is her being detained about race?
