In a prime example of how drunk driving ruins lives, 28-year old Ashley Heil pleaded guilty and accepted a 20-year sentence in connection with the April 2012 crash that killed her 8-month old daughter, Whilow Heil. She agreed to the plea deal to avoid a possible life sentence and she must serve at least half her sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Heil was originally charged with intoxication manslaughter for the crash, but evidence investigators gathered at the scene allowed the charges to be elevated to first-degree felony murder. Heil was on probation for a drug charge out of Harris County, for which she's also facing 20-years.
Blood tests show Ashley Heil was three time the legal limit for intoxication when she lost control of her Suburban on FM 1484 in Cut and Shoot, Texas and struck a tree, crushing the passenger side of the Suburban. Crash data downloaded from the vehicle showed it was traveling at 68 m.p.h., well above the 45 m.p.h. speed limit.
