More crime and justice news after this. Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Lindley. We begin in Louisiana, where a young sports reporter's life has been cut short while covering the Super Bowl in New Orleans. As Crime Online correspondent Sydney Sumner tells us, authorities have now made an arrest in connection with the case.

Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old anchor and reporter for Telemundo, Kansas City, was found dead on February 5th in his hotel room in Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. Manzano was in town to cover Super Bowl 59. Surveillance footage revealed that 48-year-old Danette Colbert accompanied Manzano to his hotel room around 5 a.m. on the day of his death and departed alone approximately an hour later. Authorities allege that Colbert used Manzano's credit card at multiple local stores. Subsequent searches of her Slidell, Louisiana residence uncovered Manzano's credit card and cell phone, along with narcotics. Colbert has been arrested and faces charges including bank fraud and theft. In 2022,

she faced felony charges in Las Vegas for allegedly drugging men and stealing their valuables, though those cases were dismissed when the victims declined to testify. The Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office is conducting toxicology tests to determine the cause of Manzano's death, with results expected in the coming weeks. Authorities have not yet classified Manzano's death as a homicide pending these findings. A North Carolina judge has ruled that racial bias played a major role in jury selection and sentencing in the 2009 death penalty case of Hassan Baycoat, a black man convicted in Johnston County. Superior Court Judge Waylon Sermons Jr. found what he called glaring patterns of discrimination, noting that black defendants in Capitol cases were sentenced to death 100 percent of the time, while similar white defendants received the death penalty in less than half of those cases. Prosecutor Gregory

Butler struck 75 percent of black jurors in Baycoat's trial, but just 23 percent of non-black jurors. Judge Sermons found Butler's explanation unconvincing, citing cases where white jurors with similar views on the death penalty were allowed to serve. Baycoat's death sentence was already commuted to life without parole last year by then-Governor Roy Cooper, but this ruling could affect other death row inmates with similar claims. The North Carolina Department of Justice says it plans to appeal. Thanks, John.
