A 33-year-old father pleaded guilty Monday in the drunken driving deaths of five children, including three of his own, who drowned last year after he lost control of his car and veered into a rain-swollen ditch.
Chanton Jenkins, of Houston, pleaded guilty to five counts of intoxication manslaughter just before his trial was set to start.
jenkins' attorney, Lott Brooks, said his client decided to plead guilty to spare his family from having to go through a trial. He said Jenkins came to the decision to plead guilty on his own, and that it was not part of a deal with prosecutors.
