Why don't these kids learn to just walk away? As Marilyn Milian would say it's a game of muy most macho! (possible spelling error there.)

Maybe he never had a chance to walk away? Do we have any details that he engaged the person who stabbed him. I thought they didn't know anything about the details of this incident??

RIP Jasper

Sentenced to 18 Years

The man who killed University of Connecticut football player Jasper Howard during an on-campus fight in 2009 was sentenced Friday to 18 years in prison.

John Lomax III, of Bloomfield, stabbed the 20-year-old defensive back in the abdomen during a fight between a group of football players and a group that included Lomax, authorities said.

Investigators believe the fight started over a comment a player made about a woman.

The 22-year-old Lomax had been charged with murder, but pleaded no contest to first-degree manslaughter in January.
