Fort Worth Officer Gets 20 Years For Intoxication Manslaughter - Killing Mother Of Two


Fort Worth, Texas

A Tarrant County jury sentenced former Fort Worth police narcotics officer Jesus Cisneros to 20 years in prison Thursday afternoon, hours after he pled guilty to driving drunk when he killed Sonia Baker, a mother of two, last December.

At the judge's instruction, the jury found him guilty and the punishment phase of the trial began. About 4:15 p.m., the jury returned the 20-year sentence, the maximum on the charge.

The former officer had a 0.17 blood-alcohol level - more than twice the legal limit - and was driving 76 mph in a 35 mph zone.
