Jurors took just an hour Wednesday to find a San Antonio man guilty of murder for a drunken driving crash that killed his fiancee.

Donald Huff, 54, now will face up to life in prison. His sentencing is set July 31.

Huff twice before had been convicted of DWI when he was arrested after the Aug. 6, 2009, motorcycle crash on Nacogdoches Road that left Arlene Harding-Watts, 46, dead. Prosecutors were able to pursue murder charges because it was his third offense.

“Drunks don't choose how, when or who they kill,” state prosecutor David Henderson told jurors during closing arguments. “That's why we're here today.”

The defense contended throughout the trial that Huff wasn't driving the motorcycle, but Harding-Watts was.
