The father of one of three Indiana children who were struck and killed by a pickup truck as they crossed a road to board a school bus said Thursday that threats against the driver and her family won't bring justice for his daughter or help those she left behind.
Michael Stahl spoke after the 24-year-old driver, Alyssa Shepherd, entered a not guilty plea in Fulton County Court to three counts of reckless homicide.
Stahl's nine-year-old daughter, Alivia, was killed in the Oct. 30 pre-dawn collision , along with her six-year-old twin brothers, Xzavier and Mason Ingle.

Maverik Lowe, the 11-year-old who was severely injured in the crash, remains hospitalized in Fort Wayne.
Stahl said after the hearing Thursday morning that he was praying for Shepherd's family and that threats being made against them must stop.
'It's not helping the situation. It doesn't help the prosecutors. It doesn't help the justice system. It doesn't help us. And it doesn't do my daughter justice or the other people who are affected by this,' he told WSBT-TV.

Stahl said his focus is now his remaining daughter, who is 11 and was at a doctor's appointment on the day of the crash. He said she is struggling with emotions that no child should have to face.
'A child that age shouldn't have to grow up that fast,' he told the South Bend Tribune.
Shepherd struck four children that morning as they crossed the two-lane road to board a Tippecanoe Valley School Corp. bus near Rochester, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Indianapolis.
If convicted of the charges against her, the married mom-of-two could face up to 19 years in prison
Shepherd also faces one misdemeanor count of passing a school bus when an arm signal device is extended, causing bodily injury.
Shepherd told authorities she didn't realize that she was approaching a stopped school bus, despite the activated stop arm and flashing lights.
Court documents show Shepherd told police she saw the lights but didn't recognize the vehicle as a school bus until the children were right in front of her.
At her probable cause hearing earlier this month, a witness said Shepherd appeared to be doing 45mph - within the 55mph speed limit- when she hit the group of children with her Toyota pick-up truck at 7.15am outside a trailer park.
The driver of the school bus blasted his horn seconds before Shepherd's car made impact but it was too late.
Shepherd stayed at the scene to talk to police and was later arrested. She was freed from jail after posting $15,000 bond.
Shepherd, who is married and has two children of her own, is due back in court for a pretrial conference on February 5. If convicted of the charges against her, she could face up to 19 years in prison.

Michael Stahl spoke after...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
