Louisiana Jury Delivers Mixed Verdict in Death of Super Bowl Reporter Adan Manzano
A Louisiana jury delivered a mixed verdict in the death of Telemundo reporter Adan Manzano: Danette Colbert and Rickey White were found guilty of racketeering, with Colbert additionally convicted of negligent homicide, while White was acquitted of manslaughter; Christian Anderson pleaded guilty to simple robbery and received a six-year sentence. Manzano, who was in New Orleans to cover the 2025 Super Bowl, died in February 2025 from the combined effects of Xanax, alcohol, and positional asphyxia; prosecutors said Colbert lured victims for theft, White acted as her pimp, and investigators found Xanax in her home. Sentencing for Colbert and White is set for Sept. 28.
