COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- The stepson of the women accused of providing alcohol to minors testified his stepmom brought alcohol home and he took it.

Lyndon Winfree testified against his stepmom, Kecia Whitfield, only after being promised immunity in the case.

"I asked my stepmom to give me some alcohol," Winfree told the court. "She brought it home and it was set on the couch and I picked it up."

Prosecutors said Kecia Whitfield bought alcohol for a group of high school students in January.

One of the teens, Garrett Reed died in a drunk driving crash.

Prosecutors said Reed, a 17-year-old Harrison High student, had been drinking rum purchased by the mother of an acquaintance, before the January wreck that killed him. Police later charged Whitfield, 44, with reckless conduct and providing alcohol to minors.

"Garrett Reed's blood alcohol level on that night was .13. He was .13 from alcohol purchased from the defendant in this case," said prosecutor Jason Fincher.

But in opening statements, Whitfield's attorney said she never meant to buy alcohol for the high school kids and didn't know who they were.

"(She had) never met one of them, never saw them, never spoke to them, was never introduced to them, never even knew who they were. Nothing," said defense attorney John Greco.

Investigators initially had a hard time figuring out where Reed got the alcohol he drank that night, but police said eventually the name Lyndon came out -- Lyndon is Kecia Whitfield's stepson. Prosecutors said Lyndon was the go-between between Reed and his friends.

"They provided Lyndon with the money with the understanding that Lyndon had a parent that would purchase the alcohol for them," said Officer Jim Dahlquist with the Cobb County Police Department.

Reed's mother cried in court Monday as she listened to the testimony.

Trent Benson testified Tuesday that he knew Reed was drunk the night he died. He said a group of high schoolers had been drinking. When Reed wanted to go see some girls that night, Benson said he tried to stop Reed from driving.

Benson and friend Matthew Graeff were charged by police with lying during the investigation but both testified in court about the night Reed died in the drunk driving crash.

Whitfield's attorney contend the teens could have gotten alcohol from a number of other sources that night.

"I didn't go with them to get the alcohol, I didn't see anything...I had heard stuff but no one had told me anything for sure. I had heard a name and that's it," said Benson.
