The Eight Mile teenager charged with killing two people while racing pleaded not guilty.

Alexandria Martin was back in court Tuesday morning for her arraignment.

Prosecutors say the 16-year-old was driving over 100 miles per hour June 16th when she lost control of her car on Prine Road in Citronelle, rolling it multiple times. Three of the six people in the car were ejected. Two of them died.

During the arraignment, Martin's attorney John Beck filed a motion to dismiss the case entirely. The judge will hear that motion at a later date.

Beck told News 5 he has an accident reconstruction report that shows Martin could not have been going more than 60 miles per hour. Click here to read it.
