COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Two weeks after the tragic death of tow truck driver Allen Rose, the woman accused of dragging him to his death on Feb. 23 is facing 11 charges, including three felony counts.

Rose was attempting to tow an SUV at the Hill Park Apartments when Farries jumped in the car and took off. The full list of charges include:

-Leaving the scene of an accident -- a class three felony
-Manslaughter -- a class four felony
-Vehicular homicide -- a class four felony
-Reckless driving
-Failure to stop at a stop sign, two counts
-Failure to obey a traffic control device
-Unsafe or defective vehicle
-Unregistered vehicle
-Reckless endangerment, two counts

"The most serious charge is the hit-and-run involved death," Jeff Lindsey, Sr. Deputy District Attorney for El Paso County, said.

Farries could be facing serious jail time. The basic range of sentencing for class three felonies is 4-12 years and class four felonies is 2-6 years.

Ex-Colorado Springs Prosecutor Dave Webster said the judge can go outside the basic range and increase the penalty by two. Aggravators can also bump up the punishment including the accused's criminal history.

So are the 11 counts enough?

"It's typical protocol from the justice system to throw as much on them and hope something sticks," Paul Allen from Colorado Springs said.

Others disagree.

"I just think that maybe there should be less charges, not 11, that's a lot," Jasmine Duncan from Colorado Springs said.

Webster said the charges are just part of standard protocol.

"A [district attorney's] responsibility is to file all the charges they know of so that they could file in one complaint," Webster said. "They don't want to come back absent finding additional information along the way."

In a high profile case like this there's no room for error.  Farries will be back in court April 15.
