A jury has found a Wisconsin mom not guilty, in a case where she was accused of sending Facebook messages before a deadly crash.

Kari Milberg faced three counts of vehicular homicide for the deaths of her 11-year-old daughter and two five-year-old nieces in December 2013.

Investigators pointed to Facebook records that seemed to indicate she was sending messages on her phone behind the wheel at the same time of the crash.

The defense argued that slippery roads and worn tires caused the crash.
