John Lomax, who is the alleged killer of the late UConn Huskies cornerback Jasper Howard, pleaded no contest to first-degree manslaughter in Rockville Superior Court on Friday. He had been charged with murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree assault.
He did offer an apology to the family of Howard who was in attendance for Friday’s court proceedings.
“I would like to extend my condolences to the Howard family,” Lomax said. “I understand how it hurts to lose a loved one. … I wouldn’t want this to happen to anybody.”
By pleading to the lesser charge of first-degree manslaughter, he will face up to 20 years prison and up to a $15,000 fine. He will be sentenced on March 25th.
