Drunk Driver Faces Life for Killing Cop

0:00A woman named Dogele Evans pleaded guilty last week to intoxication manslaughter for killing Fort Worth police sergeant Billy Randolph in a drunk driving crash back in August of 2024. She's now facing up to life in prison as her punishment phase wraps up in court. Testimony started last Thursday and both sides rested their cases Monday afternoon. Closing arguments are coming next. Then jurors will deliberate on her sentence. Randolph was a beloved husband and father of two, working a fiery 18 wheeler wreck on Interstate 35W, when Evans driving the wrong way, struck and killed him. Evans had down 10 shots of liquor before the crash, kept driving for more than a quarter mile afterward and even tried to flee the scene. She was already on probation from an earlier guilty plea in an armed assault case against the partner, with a strict no alcohol rule she clearly broke. Jurors hold her fate now and will hear the final call soon, just as for a fallen hero hangs in the balance.
