NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The woman accused of killing a man in a suspected drunk driving crash on the Causeway Bridge entered a not guilty plea Friday. Olivia Matte is accused of killing James Blackmon in March while driving with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit. This is Matte's third DWI offense. She was out on bond on her second drunk driving arrest when the fatal crash happened. In court Friday, Blackmon's family says Matte appeared without remorse, but they say they're confident she'll be brought to justice. "It brings back some memories of his passing. We have no ill will to her or any kind of revenge type of attitude. We ultimately just want justice to be served. We want the legal system to do what it does in there. We have confidence," said Blackmon's nephew Jevaughn Osgood. Matte is due back in court June 29.

Just because she pleads not guilty at the arraignment doesn't mean that it's going to trial. This just opens negotiations for a plea deal. This happens more often than not in criminal cases.

This is just her lawyer biding time to get a better plea deal offer.

Maybe she is hoping for that affluenza defense that the Texas judge accepted?

I'm pretty confident that Texas has arraignments.

The state is knee deep in corruption and shitty politics to be that smart.

You're supposed to plead "Not Guilty" at your arraignment.

Plea deals are a major contributing factor to our fricked up judicial system



Kind of makes me feel like I can rob someone at gunpoint and only pay the same consequences as someone who ran a stop sign
