Woman convicted in Montgomery Co. drunk driving crash says she was coerced into pleading guilty

CONROE, TX

Surveillance video showing Nicole Baukus drinking heavily in a bar before stumbling to her pickup truck played a key role in her trial.

The 24-year-old changed her plea to guilty shortly after the video was shown in court. Now Baukus claims her attorney coerced her into pleading guilty.

A hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning in Montgomery County.
