Falleen Randle wants people to know her family still needs help.

The Lawrenceville woman, whose 21-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son and infant grandson were killed two weeks ago in a five-vehicle wreck on I-85, asked for continued prayers and support for her injured husband.

"My husband is still fighting for his life," said Randle.

Randle said she shied away from the media following the wreck because she needed time to grieve and make funeral arrangements.

But on Monday, she gathered with half a dozen friends and family members for an emotional press conference at Gwinnett Medical Center, where her husband of 25 years is still hospitalized in critical condition. Demetrius Randle, 45, suffered a severe head injury in the crash and has not emerged from a coma.

A doctor was scheduled to discuss Demetrius' prognosis at the press conference, but a hospital spokesperson said the doctor was unable to attend because of a last-minute conflict.

Randle's forearm is still marred with a purplish bruise about the size of a palm print. The fingernail marks in the shape of small pink crescents have begun to fade. She said her daughter, Whitney, caused the marks while clinging to her arm during the wreck.

Whitney, her brother Alexander, and her 13-month-old son, Kayden Randle-Finley, died after being ejected from the sport utility vehicle limousine that was ferrying the Randle family home from the airport.

The driver of the limo, Mark Anthony Gay, was also killed in the collision.

Randle said she was glad that a judge denied bond Friday for Carmon Cody Rhoden, Gainesville man accused of driving recklessly and causing the crash.

Several people from the Randle family attended Rhoden's bond hearing, but they had to stand in the back because all three rows of the small courtroom were filled with Rhoden supporters. Randle said "not one person in the courtroom gave a gesture of concern."

Rhoden faces multiple felony charges, including vehicular homicide and hit and run. A detective who testified at the preliminary hearing said Rhoden, 20, was seen drinking beers with a buddy a few hours before the accident.

Randle said the accident would have been prevented if Rhoden had used caution while driving.

"There's no need for reckless driving, ever," Randle said. "There's just too many precious people out on the road."

Latavius Finley, fiancé to Whitney and father to Kayden, survived the crash with minor injuries. However, he was too emotional Monday to speak. He fought back tears and bowed his head when offered the chance to address reporters.
