A north Texas man on trial in Brazos County District Court entered a guilty plea to intoxication manslaughter.
24 year old Kasey Vanhoose of Sunset was accused of a drunk driving crash in April 2009 that killed a passenger who was thrown out of his pickup.
The crash, on Wellborn Road in Millican, took the life of Brad Abbe of Boise, Idaho.
The trial jury went from hearing prosecution evidence to hearing arguments about Vanhoose’s punishment, which ranges from probation to 20 years in prison. Jurors return Thursday morning to deliberate his sentence.
