Sorry, sicky, but I will be the first one to admit that I do not know everything. There, I said it (or wrote it). But I do have my opinion and that is what I wrote. You can agree or disagree with me, which is your right, but please don't stoop to insults.
Sorry that your brother and sister VPDers fouled up the investigation as both the prosecution and defense pointed out.
In the great words of Sergeant Hulka in Stripes, "Lighten up, Frances".

Ohh and VCC, to go ahead and prove you wrong so all the other posters can see how misinformed you are, here it is from the horses mouth
:Sec. 19.04. MANSLAUGHTER. (a) A person commits an offense if he recklessly causes the death of an individual.(b) An offense under this section is a felony of the second degree.CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE. (a) A person commits an offense if he causes the death of an individual by criminal negligence.(b) An offense under this section is a state jail felony.

Again VCC, you are speaking out of the wrong end. There is no such thing as a "intoxication homicide." There is however Criminally Negligent Homicide and Manslaughter and to school you a lil bit, Manslaughter is more serious and carries a penalty of up to 20 years. Criminally Negligent Homicide maximum is 2 years. Refer to section 19.02 of the Texas Penal Code, OR have a little knowledge of what you are posting. Also don't refer to the police as "oopsing" the investigation when you just "oopsed" yourself with your lack of knowledge post. Pot calling the kettle black

I remember reading a few comments from some here in the comment section,who said this guy would get away with this. Proud to say,,,you were Wrong. Justice was served,,thank God. I cannot see why some Still have to complain about the verdict,"This is a sad ruling"..What the H** is that suppose to mean?. So what the pinishment was for manslaughter,,My God that its Exactly what he did,,he Slaughtered two human beings. This guy Will Not just get probation,,I can't even see how anyone could think that. The guy was convicted but still some complain,,,,Get a freakin life!.....GLAD HE WAS CONVICTED.....PERIOD!!!!!.....Most are Happy about it,,,but some ya can't Ever please. FOUND GUILTY,,,,,,,,JOB WELL DONE.

Glad he was convicted of something!!!! Now he'll have to pay a price for his stupidity!

This is a sad ruling. The jury probably would have believed the driver was intoxicated if there weren't so many oopsies in the investigation. The punishment for manslaughter is lighter than for intoxication homicide.  Watch this guy get probation....nothing I want to see.
