Louisiana jury convicts woman of negligent homicide in Telemundo reporter’s Super Bowl death

A Jefferson Parish, La., jury convicted Danette Colbert, 49, of negligent homicide and racketeering in the death of Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter visiting New Orleans to cover the Super Bowl. Prosecutors say Colbert and accomplice Rickey White ran a long-running criminal scheme in the French Quarter that drugged visitors to rob them, including using Manzano’s credit card after his death; an autopsy cited a fatal mix of alcohol and Xanax. White was acquitted of manslaughter; Colbert faces up to 10 years for negligent homicide and up to 50 years for racketeering, with sentencing set for late September.
