A 31-year-old woman from the state of California could face a life sentence in prison after being found guilty of causing the death of a homeless man, whom she ran over while driving while intoxicated in June 2016.

As stated in a People magazine report, Esteysi Sánchez ran over Jack Ray Tenhulzen, 69, and continued to drive his car with the man's lifeless body in the passenger seat.

Details about the unusual case add that after the strong impact, Tenhulzen's body broke the panoramic glass of the woman's car and ended up resting right in the front passenger seat. Sánchez, who was returning from a party, did not stop his car until he reached the vicinity of his residence. He then parked his car and walked home without paying any attention to the body.

The women's defense team reportedly claimed that the woman fell asleep at the wheel and when her car hit Tenhulzen she woke up, shocked to discover the man's body completely covered in blood in the seat next to him.

Despite the fact that in the past the woman did not have any traffic violation related to driving under the influence of alcohol, prosecutors in the case accused Sánchez of murder, as they found sufficient evidence to determine that she was warned by her friends before the accident. that he did not drive in the state he was in.

Last Friday in a court in the city of San Diego, the woman was found guilty of second-degree murder, murder for driving in a state of impasse and fleeing after running over a person.
