Michela was driving and suffered various broken bones and bruises.

Prosecutor Michael Yraceburn said second degree murder was not an option because there was no evidence of implied malice.

Yraceburn refused to comment on a police report that put Green's blood alcohol content at 0.13.

Maxwell's family attended the hearing but did not wish to comment.

Green pled not guilty to the charges.

His next hearing will be on April 15, and bail was set at $100,000.

Yraceburn said if Green is convicted on all charges, he could be sentenced to 14 years in prison.
