Rubio v. State

OPINION

ANN CRAWFORD McCLURE, Justice.

This case arises out of a traffic accident in a trendy entertainment district known as Kern Place which is located near the University of Texas at El Paso. Restaurants and clubs line both sides of the main thoroughfare as well as several side streets. There is considerable pedestrian traffic as patrons walk between establishments and to and from their parked cars. Michael Rubio appeals his two-count conviction of manslaughter in the deaths of two such pedestrians. The jury assessed punishment at ten years’ confinement for each count. We affirm.

FACTUAL…
