DALLAS -- Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was
sentenced Friday to 180 days in jail and 10 years of
probation for a drunken car crash that killed his friend
and teammate, Jerry Brown.

Brent was convicted Wednesday of intoxication
manslaughter for the December 2012 crash on a suburban
Dallas highway that killed Brown, who was a passenger in
Brents car. Brent could have been sentenced to up to 20
years in prison. Brent, a Cowboys defensive tackle, and
Brown, a linebacker on the practice squad, also played
together at the University of Illinois and were close
friends. They were headed home from a night of partying
with Dallas teammates when Brent lost control of his
Mercedes and crashed. Officers who arrived on scene saw
Brent trying to pull Browns body from the wreckage. Blood
tests pegged Brents blood alcohol content at 0.18 per
cent, which is more than twice the states legal limit to
drive of 0.08 per cent. Prosecutors told jurors that the
burly, 320-pound lineman had as many as 17 drinks on the
night of the crash. One of Brents lawyers, George Milner,
argued that Brent wasnt drunk and was only "guilty of
being stupid behind the wheel of a car." He contended
that Brent couldnt have had nearly as much to drink as
prosecutors said he had, and that the police blood tests
were flawed. Brents lawyers pushed their case for
probation Thursday, calling a Dallas County official who
testified that the county currently has 34 intoxication
manslaughter cases that resulted in probation. Kevin
Brooks, one of Brents lawyers, said the one-time
defensive tackle would be easy to monitor because of "who
he is and who he was." Brent retired from football last
year. Browns mother, Stacey Jackson, has also publicly
forgiven Brent. When asked Thursday if she holds Brent
responsible for her sons death, she said: "Hes still
responsible, but you cant go on in life holding a grudge.
We all make mistakes." Prosecutors pushed for prison time
for Brent, who went to trial only weeks after another
Texas intoxication manslaughter case sparked widespread
public outrage. In that case, a defence expert argued
that the defendant, a 17-year-old boy who caused a
drunken crash that killed four people, deserved leniency
because his parents coddled him into a sense of
irresponsibility -- a condition the expert termed
"affluenza." The teen wasnt given prison time. On
Thursday, prosecutor Rebecca Dodds emphasized Brents 2009
drunken driving arrest in Illinois to press the states
argument that he deserves prison time. In that case, he
served 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to a
misdemeanour charge. "Probation doesnt work for Josh
Brent," prosecutor Rebecca Dodds told the jury during
closing statements in the punishment phase. Brent played
in all 12 games for the Cowboys in 2012 before the crash.
Brown made the practice squad that season.

fan after the teams game against Detroit last

said Wednesday. Never let people get to you. Never let
anyones words affect you in that manner. So Ive just
learned, and its something Ive already known, but (Ive)
just got to handle those situations better.Smith has

off. Owner Woody Johnson said Thursday he was
