San Antonio socialite Kendall Batchelor's intoxicated manslaughter appeal quashed in court
The daughter of San Antonio car dealer Ken Batchelor will remain behind bars after a Texas appellate court upheld her intoxicated manslaughter conviction on Wednesday. Attorneys representing Kendall Lauren Batchelor, 25, argued that Kendall County 45th District Judge Kristen Cohoon wrongfully denied their client's request for a change of venue during her initial trial. Defense attorneys for the Boerne woman said "inflammatory" media coverage from the Boerne Star and the San Antonio Current, along with public sentiment expressed a Facebook group, tainted the jury pool and prevented a fair trial, according to court documents.
