Key Points:

  • Two individuals were found guilty in the death of Kansas City sports reporter Adan Manzano, who died from alcohol and Xanax intoxication during Super Bowl week in New Orleans.
  • Danette Colbert was convicted of negligent homicide, while Rickey White was convicted of racketeering but acquitted of manslaughter charges.
  • Prosecutors alleged White led a criminal operation in the French Quarter where women, including Colbert, lured men, drugged them, and robbed them; evidence included surveillance footage and Manzano’s belongings found with Colbert.
  • A third defendant, Christian Anderson, pleaded guilty to lesser charges and testified about the group's activities under White’s direction, supported by text messages and victim ID photos.
  • The defense argued insufficient proof that Colbert administered drugs and suggested Manzano may have self-administered Xanax; sentencing is set for September 28.
