Kelly Michele Wolfe, 46, of Capistrano Beach (Dana Point) was convicted on Monday in Orange County Superior Court of murder, driving under the influence causing bodily injury, driving without a license and a sentence enhancement of driving with a blood alcohol level of .15 percent or higher.

According to an Orange County District Attorney’s report, at 8:30 p.m. on July 4, 2013, Wolfe drove a Volkswagen van just south of the intersection of Camino Capistrano and Pacific Coast Highway, near the Shorecliffs Beach Club in San Clemente, while under the influence of alcohol and without a valid driver’s license.

Wolfe ran over 76-year-old Marthann Demchuk, who was standing in the gutter while her then 13-year-old blind grandson, Mason, was on the curb holding her arm.

Mason was treated for injuries as a result of the crash, including abrasions to his face, mouth and legs. Demchuck died as a result of the injuries that she sustained from the crash.

“Wolfe had a blood alcohol content of .31 percent at approximately 10:39 p.m., approximately two hours after the crash,” a DA press release stated.

The legal limit in California is .08 for a regular driver’s license holder.

Wolfe has a prior DUI conviction from Nevada in 1995, the release stated. In California, she was issued a Watson advisement when she applied for her California license, which means she was given notice that if she killed someone and is charged with a DUI, she could be tried for murder.

Wolfe is scheduled for sentencing at 9 a.m. on Nov. 20 in Department C-37, Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. She faces a maximum sentence of 18 years to life in state prison.
