- Colbert and her accomplice Rickey White operated a criminal enterprise in New Orleans' French Quarter, drugging victims to steal their money and belongings; White was acquitted of manslaughter but convicted of racketeering.
- Prosecutors described Colbert as posing as a prostitute while White acted as her pimp, with another accomplice, Christian Anderson, testifying against them in exchange for reduced charges.
- Colbert's negligent homicide conviction carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, while racketeering can result in up to 50 years; sentencing for Colbert and White is scheduled for late September.
- Manzano's death was particularly tragic as it followed the recent death of his wife, leaving behind their toddler daughter.
