Marisol Garcia, 33, got behind the wheel with her two children in the car after consuming nine drinks. Her blood alcohol content was reportedly .18 percent - more than twice the legal limit - and a jury deliberated for less than an hour before convicting her of second-degree murder.

Probation is an extremely rare sentence after a second-degree murder conviction - most defendants would face significant prison time. If you’re facing a Riverside DUI charge, you need a highly skilled defense lawyer fighting for your rights.
