Man guilty of intoxication manslaughter sentenced to 60 years in prison Christopher Del Toro was convicted of crashing into Jessica Brill, killing her
SAN ANTONIO – A man who was found guilty in a drunk driving crash that killed a woman nearly two years ago has been sentenced to 60 years in prison.
Christopher Del Toro learned his sentence on Friday, the day after he was convicted of intoxication manslaughter .
Prosecutors in the case said Del Toro’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit when he crashed on March 27, 2022, on South Flores Street and East Dickson Avenue .
They said he veered into another lane and hit a vehicle head-on that was being driven by Jessica Brill, 44.
Del Toro’s attorney argued that Brill may have been drinking the night of the crash and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
His sentence was enhanced due to prior convictions.
