Danette Colbert and Rickey White were sentenced to 60 and 45 years in prison, respectively, for their roles in a racketeering scheme that led to the death of Telemundo reporter Adan Manzano during the 2025 Super Bowl.
A Louisiana jury convicted 49-year-old Danette Colbert of negligent homicide and racketeering in the death of 27-year-old Telemundo reporter Adan Manzano, who was found dead in a New Orleans hotel room in February 2025. While prosecutors sought manslaughter charges, the jury acquitted her 35-year-old accomplice, Rickey White, of manslaughter but convicted him of racketeering.
