An accused drunk driver who allegedly killed a married couple admitted to cops she had been drinking \u2014 but claimed she only had one.<\/p>\n

Anabell Correa, who is charged with killing Desiree and Max Mooney in Bakersfield, California, last March, is said to have told officers \u201cI drank one Twisted Tea bro,\u201d according to court documents obtained by Bakersfield Now.<\/p>\n

Correa, who was 21 at the time, was traveling eastbound on Stockdale Highway when she allegedly failed to stop at a red light \u2014 striking Desiree and Max Mooney\u2019s ride share vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m never seeing my kid, huh, just because I drove and drank one, two drinks,\u201d Correa told police according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The crash killed the Mooneys, who were coming home after spending the night out celebrating Saint Patrick\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n

The couple were with their friend, Tayler Wells, who survived but lost teeth, suffered broken bones throughout her body, and had to re-learn how walk. The ride share driver suffered a fractured neck and had bleeding on her brain.<\/p>\n

Desiree turned 30 just a few months earlier, according to a GoFundMe page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral families lost their children that day, and while some will recover the void of the loss of Desiree and Max will be felt forever,\u201d the GoFundMe said, which has raised more than $20,000 to help with funeral costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February, a Kern County judge determined there was sufficient evidence to connect Correa to the incident.<\/p>\n

Correa was allegedly driving without a license and had a blood alcohol level that was 0.088%, which was above the 0.080% legal limit, Bakersfield Now reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old faces 10 charges, including two counts of murder and will head to trial in late August, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Correa, who remains in custody without bail, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The case has already seen tensions boil over in court. In March, a male relative of Correa was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor offense for attempting to speak to her, shouting: \u201cLove you, Anabell\u201d despite being warned to stay quiet.<\/p>\n

Correa\u2019s attorney\u00a0has previously argued she should be charged with manslaughter, not murder, because she had no priors before the crash.<\/p>\n

However, police have presented evidence from the night where she made statements about knowing drunk driving was dangerous<\/p>\n
