Click here to read a statement from the family of Mark Benson, who allegedly caused the crash that killed three people.

Visitation will begin today for three victims of a deadly car accident in Oconomowoc last week.

Mourners will say their goodbyes to Oconomowoc High School Associate Principal Jennifer Bukosky, her 10-year-old daughter Courtney Bella, and Bukosky's unborn daughter Sophia.

Funeral director Keith Pagenkopf says he's handled a number of requests and suggestions.

"A lot of pictures," said Pagenkopf.

"Students asked today about bring cards and notes to the family, and I encouraged that."

Four thousand people, including students, are expected to make their way through the funeral home in the next two days.

"I think it's very nice of them to give them that time to the students. They can do it on their own terms."

Benson's Previous DUI Sentence "Typical"

The judge who handled Benson's most recent DUI case defended the sentence he handed down.

Lee Dreyfus, Jr. gave Benson until May 9th to start a Huber Law term and ordered him not to drive.

Dreyfus says the punishment is typical for someone with a record like Benson's.

Benson appeared before Dreyfus for sentencing just two days before the deadly crash.

It was his third DUI conviction.
