15 Year Sentence in Deadly DWI Crash
By: Jennifer Saucedo
A jury sentenced Gregory Mitchell to 15 years in prison for a deadly drunk driving crash that killed Ryan Bettcher, 29.
Prosecutors say in May 2011, Mitchell was driving drunk when he hit and killed Bettcher, who was walking along the grassy area. Mitchell was convicted of intoxication manslaughter on Wednesday.
Jurors also found that the vehicle Mitchell was driving that day was a deadly weapon. This means Mitchell must serve half of his 15 year sentence before he's eligible for parole.

Perry, Texas Legislature to honor fallen soldiers
May 25, 2013 08:12 GMT
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry is addressing a joint session of the Legislature to honor Texans killed in combat.
Lawmakers from both chambers will crowd onto the House floor Saturday to join relatives of those fallen for a tearful tribute to soldiers from the state killed on the battlefield.
It will be a solemn start to a busy -- perhaps even frantic -- final weekend of the 140-day legislative session, which ends Monday.
Perry has not commented on whether he will call lawmakers back to work for a special session to tackle unfinished business.
But settling disputed voting maps is likely to keep the Legislature working until June.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who oversees the Senate, also has said he'd like more time to revive tighter abortion restrictions and looser gun laws.
