The Los Osos woman who pleaded no contest last month to a charge of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated was back in court yesterday. Prosecutors say Emily Bales was driving under the influence when she struck and killed 67-year-old pastor Dale Paulson almost a year ago. She was sentenced to more than six years in state prison. According to the Tribune, Paulson had announced his retirement from his church just days before the accident.
