One woman in San Antonio, Texas accepted a plea bargain that reduced her possible life sentence to 55 years behind bars. She pronounced her own guilt in the drunk driving accident that took the lives of four people last year. According to news sources, the woman was found to be legally intoxicated when police arrived at the fatal car accident. The arresting officers found her blood-alcohol level to be 0.11 shortly after the crash, which is well above the legal state limit of 0.08 percent. Her drunk driving ultimately led to the death of four people - a 55-year-old woman, her 4-year-old grandson and her two daughters. The defendant was also injured in the drunken driving accident but did not suffer any life-altering injuries.

In exchange for pleading guilty to causing the drunken driving accident, the judge gave her a reduced sentence. If she had gone to trial, she risked the possibility of getting a life sentence by a grand jury.
