"In the 2017 case, Sanchez, 18 at the time, was driving a Buick Century on a rural road near Los Banos, with two younger teens in the backseat. She reportedly swerved onto the shoulder, overcorrected and crashed through a wire fence; the car overturned in a field. Her 14-year-old sister, Jacqueline, was killed, and the other girl was badly injured."
"Sanchez's blood alcohol level 90 minutes after the crash was 0.10 percent, investigators said. It also came out that she was livestreaming on Instagram before, during and after the crash. The video, widely shared on social media, showed her singing and adjusting the phone, at times apparently taking both hands off the wheel. She pleaded no contest to charges including gross vehicular manslaughter, drunken driving and child endangerment and was sentenced in 2018 to six years and four months in prison."
"The prosecutor had requested the maximum sentence, 12 years. He contended her behavior in the aftermath of the crash showed her to be callous and lacking in remorse - swearing, kicking and spitting at the emergency responders and declaring she was "hella drunk," and "I don't care if I go to jail for life." Sanchez was released in September 2019, having served 26 months. Three weeks later, she was arrested after allegedly leading Stockton police on a chase."
Obdulia Sanchez, 26, was one of two people shot around 7 p.m. Dec. 2 in Garden Acres near Stockton; she was taken to a hospital and died. The San Joaquin County sheriff's office provided no information on a suspect or motive. In 2017, Sanchez, then 18, drove a Buick Century with two younger teens, swerved onto the shoulder, overcorrected, crashed through a wire fence and overturned; her 14-year-old sister Jacqueline was killed and the other passenger was badly injured. Investigators recorded Sanchez's blood alcohol level at 0.10 percent 90 minutes after the crash and noted she was livestreaming on Instagram before, during and after the crash. She pleaded no contest to gross vehicular manslaughter, drunken driving and child endangerment and received a 2018 sentence of six years and four months; she served 26 months, was released in September 2019, and was arrested three weeks later after allegedly leading police on a chase.
