Carmen Huertas, 31, pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and other charges. Her bail was set at $250,000. She attended her arraignment via video link between the courtroom and a Queens hospital jail ward where she is being held.
Prosecutors say she got behind the wheel with seven young passengers after drinking for hours at a family party, ignoring warnings not to drive. Eleven-year-old Leandra Rosado died in the Oct. 11 crash. The other children were injured.
