Cowboys are 'grieving,' Jerry Jones says
Dallas Cowboys
players hang their heads during a moment of silence honoring teammate
Jerry Brown who was killed in an automobile accident prior to today's
game against the Bengals.
Cowboys
nose tackle Josh Brent entered no plea at his arraignment in the death of teammate Jerry Brown today, and a judge set bond at $500,000, CNN
reports. Brent was returned to jail following the hearing; his lawyer
said the $500,000 figure was more than the team had authorized him to
post. "I'd say the bond is 16 times higher than it would have been for
anybody that doesn't play for the Dallas Cowboys," he tells CBS. Brown has been charged with intoxication manslaughter, which carries a potential 2- to 20-year sentence.
In an
affidavit released today, police say Brent's car traveled 900 feet after
hitting the curb. They say Brent was pulling Brown from the wreckage
when they arrived, and that he refused to take a blood test. Earlier the
25-year-old told USA Today
he was "devastated" over the incident. "I will live with this horrific
and tragic loss every day for the rest of my life." His teammates feel
much the same way, owner Jerry Jones said during a TV pregame show
today. "I think that our team is grieving," he said. The Cowboys bowed
their heads for a moment of silence before today's game, the AP reports.
