In Part 3 of #JusticeforBeth, Cameron Jay introduces listeners to the man responsible for killing Beth Buchanan and injuring Julie Buchanan- Cesar Raudales Macias.

Cesar Raudales Macias was driving on the wrong side of the road at speeds over 80MPH and under the influence of alcohol (blood alcohol content of .24) when he collided with the Buchanan's car in February of 2023. He would be transported to an Athens hospital to undergo surgery for his own injuries. But, Cesar would be released from the hospital to his parent's home. When authorities went to make their arrest?
