The intoxication manslaughter trial of Lauren Batchelor, the daughter of San Antonio car dealer Ken Batchelor, continues to hold readers' interest.

Prior stories documenting Batchelor's trial and how she was handled by Boerne authorities during a prior car collision ended up among the Current's most-read articles of their respective weeks. Now the story about her being sentenced to 20 years in prison topped this week's most-read stories.

But somber stories about crime and punishment weren't the only thing Current readers were craving.
