San Jose, Calif. (KCBS)  -- The attorney for a Redwood City woman accused of causing the death of two members of a Tongan royal family and their driver, said her $3 million bail is outrageous.

KCBS' Mike Colgan reported that attorney Randy Moore said he would file an appeal as soon as today.

"It's unconstitutional to give somebody $3 million in bail and in fact what you're doing is giving them no bail at all," said Moore.

Edith Delgado, 18, pleaded not guilty on July 7 in San Mateo County Superior Court to three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for her alleged role in the July 5 crash on Highway 101 in Menlo Park.

Delgado's family has expressed sorrow and regret to the Tongan community.

Her sister said not a second goes by that they don't think about what happened and how big an effect it has had on everyone. "We know there is no way we can change what has happened but we ask God to heal the hearts of those who have been hurt in this tragedy."

Delgado is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 20 for her preliminary hearing.

If convicted she faces up to eight years in prison.
