ALEXANDRIA, La., (KNOE 8 News) - A state appeals court has upheld the Rapides Parish conviction of a driver for running a stop sign and hitting another car, killing a woman and her unborn baby in that car.
58-year-old Paul David Heider had been convicted of vehicular homicide in the death of Angela Cohen and third-degree feticide of Cohen's unborn child in 2007. On that conviction, Judge Thomas Yeager sentenced Heider to two consecutive five-year jail terms.
In his appeal, Heider argued that the expert witness who testified he (Heider) was high on marijuana at the time of the accident, was wrong.
