Three
new charges for Cowboy defensive back
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Cowboys reserve
defensive back Dwayne Goodrich was expected to be arraigned Monday
on three new charges in a hit-and-run crash that killed two people
earlier this month.
Goodrich, who had been free on $50,000 bond on two manslaughter
charges, was booked into jail early Monday and awaiting the formal
proceeding involving the latest charges of failure to stop and render
aid.
Police said the Jan. 14 accident happened just after 2 a.m., while
Goodrich was on his way home from a topless nightclub. Authorities
say the football player drove his BMW at speeds in excess of 100
miles an hour between a concrete barrier and a burning car involved
in an earlier highway accident.
A passenger in the burning car was trying to free the driver when
Demont Matthews, 23, and Joseph Wood, 21, pulled to the side of
the road and ran to help.
The BMW ran into all three rescuers, killing Matthews and Wood.
The third man suffered a broken leg.
Reed Prospere, Goodrich’s attorney, said last week that he
and his client were aware the additional charges would be filed.
Failure to stop and render aid is a felony punishable by up to five
years in prison. Manslaughter is a second-degree felony punishable
by two to 20 years in prison.
Dallas County District Attorney Bill Hill has said a grand jury
could begin hearing evidence in the case next month.
