Former Dallas Cowboy found guilty of drink-drive manslaughter Josh Brent has been convicted of intoxication manslaughter by a jury in Texas. The former member of the Dallas Cowboys football team was found guilty by the jury after 11 hours of deliberation. Brent, 25, had been drinking heavily at a club before driving away in his Mercedes. The car overturned after striking a kerb at 110mph and then caught fire, killing Jerry Brown. Jurors were shown CCTV footage from the club showing Brent swigging champagne from the bottle. Brent, who failed police roadside co-ordination tests, was found to be more than twice over the legal drink-drive limit. Lawyers had argued that Brent was reckless, but not drunk. He faces a possible 20-year jail term.
