17. Why do they think she was "under the influence"? Did they do blood test / breathalyzer?

She would have been stunned and in shock immediately after the accident. I find it hard to believe that a credible assertion of "appeared under the influence" could be made without hard evidence. But, if they did a breathalyzer and she failed, is it possible that she has previously undiagnosed diabetes, or another condition that could have caused a false positive?

These are a few questions that spring to mind, that hopefully her attorney will be pushing hard.

Good luck and I hope that that you are able to get the evidence of a problem with the brakes, or in any case resolve the situation.

Edit: Upon reading further info posted below by some people close to the victims, I agree with the assessment that it would be wise to take a step back. Yes you want the best defense possible for this young woman, but if indeed she was clearly DUI then she needs to accept responsibility for her tragic mistakes. And you and your son need to accept that sometimes, someone we love really is in the wrong.
