An intoxicated driver was sentenced to 22 years in prison this week after pleading guilty to felony murder in a Houston crash that killed his 6-year-old stepdaughter, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office says.
According to prosecutors, Rodriguez had a criminal record that included possession of prescription drugs like muscle relaxers and marijuana and took both on the day of the crash.
