A jury sentenced 21-year-old Miranda Cisneros to 11-years in prison, today. Yesterday they found her guilty on three counts of aggravated robbery and one count of child endangerment for shoplifting at Walmart and injuring employees.

Video captured the incident on camera last June and shows Cisneros plowing over the employees who chased her out of the store after she stole some items. It was a highly emotional trial throughout. After the sentencing one of the victims chose to speak to Cisneros.

"I do not feel no sympathy for you; at all," the victim said. "I will continue to live my life and enjoy it with my grandkids and I hope one day karma does pay you a visit. And I believe justice was served," she continued.

Vanessa Sanchez, Cisneros' aunt, talked about the victims' testimonies saying, "They changed their story. The first day they said, 'stop her, stop her.' Now they cleaned up their story. They said, now, that they were there to help her which was a lie."

Sanchez followed up with, "We have no sympathy for her either at all. She got what she deserved for putting herself in that situation."

CORPUS CHRISTI - Miranda Cisneros was sentenced late Thursday to a maximum of 11 years in jail. She was found guilty yesterday on 3 counts of aggravated robbery and 1 count of child endangerment for a June 2nd Walmart shoplifting incident that injured employees.

Cisneros was sentenced to 11 years for count one, 10 years for count two, five years for count three, and two years for count four. She will serve the sentences concurrently with credit for the time she has already served.

The 21-year-old's defense attorney unsuccessfully argued for the jury to consider lesser charges of robbery and theft. She now faces up to 99 years in prison as the sentencing phase is scheduled to get underway this afternoon.

Cisneros was seen on security video from the Walmart on Greenwood as she fled the store with her young child after employees accused her of stealing baby items and household items. Three employees were hurt as she backed out of a parking spot and hit two other cars making a getaway. Cisneros was pregnant at the time of the incident.

During the trial, the defense argued store employees are to blame for escalating the incident by pursuing Cisneros out of the store, a violation of company policy.

Cisneros was arrested at a home in Calallen six days after the incident.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The jury will soon start deliberations in the aggravated robbery trial of 21-year-old Miranda Cisneros. She's accused of hitting three Walmart employees with her car as they tried to question her about an alleged shoplifting incident last June at the Greenwood location.

During the trial, the defense argued store employees are to blame for escalating the incident by pursuing Cisneros out of the store, a violation of company policy.

At the time, Cisneros was pregnant and had a young child with her. She's charged with three counts of aggravated robbery and one count of child endangerment. If convicted she could be sentenced to 99 years in prison.

The prosecution wrapped up their arguments by telling the jury all the elements of aggravated robbery are present in their case.

The employees testified they had pulled Cisneros aside to question her about a container with baby products and household items inside. They say once she was left alone she fled the store with her child.

Prosecutors pointed to jurors the video evidence provided by Walmart which shows a white car pulling out of a parking lot with the driver's side door open. A Walmart employee is seen being knocked to the ground as the driver fled, striking two cars in the process.

U.S. Marshals caught up with the young mother six days later at a home in Calallen.

During closing arguments by the defense, an attorney acknowledged Cisneros is guilty of theft, but questioned whether she intended to use her car as a deadly weapon. The attorney claims she panicked when she heard police were on the way.

The defense is asking the jury to consider the lesser charge of robbery or theft, rather than aggravated robbery.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Last June, a pregnant mother was caught on surveillance video at a the Walmart on Greenwood allegedly shoplifting. 21-year-old Miranda Cisneros is now on trial for aggravated robbery as prosecutors say she injured several employees as she tried to leave the parking lot.

A Walmart employee testified today that she witnessed Cisneros walk out of the store with stolen items hidden in a container.

The employee says Cisneros was taken to a room to be questioned about the items, which included baby and household items. However, the employee says once she was left in the room alone, Cisneros grabbed her daughter and ran to her car.

The Walmart employees followed her to her car and tried to convince her to come back inside. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras as the pregnant woman got into her car..

Former assistant manager Geraldine Page became emotional as she watched the surveillance video in court during her testimony about being knocked to the ground by Cisneros ' car door as she backed up. Page testified she sustained multiple injuries, including some to her right knee.

Page also testified Walmart fired her after the incident for violating store policy. The company prohibits employees from following shoplifting suspects 10 feet from the front door. She told the court she was made a scapegoat for the incident.

Another Walmart employee John Lopez testified he saw Cisneros hit Page more than once and that he was also knocked to the ground. He told the court he saw the car door pass directly over his head as he lay on the ground. He said he was also injured.

Cisneros was captured by U.S. Marshals at a home in Calallen six days after the incident.

Court officials expect the trial to only last for a couple of days.
