Kurdi died after being hit by a car back in June, but the driver only received a traffic citation. Kurdi's family wants criminal charges in the case.
There were so many supporters present Tuesday that they could not all fit into the courtroom.
Both Cusack's attorney and Kurdi's attorney said Cusack admitted to officers at the scene that she had two drinks at a bar before the incident, and she declined to take a breathalyzer test. "They did make arrangements for something that is very disturbing for me," Kurdi family attorney, David Petrich, said. "They made arrangements for Leanne Cusack to not walk out the front door. They gave her special treatment."
"He saw there was a slight odor of alcohol beverage on her breath," Cusack's attorney, Robert Olson, said. "They gave her an HGN test, which is the horizontal gaze, to establish a jerking of the eyes. She passed that test. My client wasn't impaired. She didn't do anything wrong. There are two victims in this case."
