A 25-year-old woman who caused the car accident that killed Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson and two former high school teammates last year pleaded guilty to three counts of negligent homicide under the influence of alcohol.
Prosecutors will recommend a five-year sentence for Cori Clingman, but she is most likely to spend only three years in prison when she is sentenced on Feb. 4. She has been on home detention and left the courthouse without comment.
"Each count that Ms. Clingman has pleaded to carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and based on the circumstances of this case, we are recommending a sentence of 15 years, suspend all but three. The judge, of course, will make the final decision," Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson said.
The Minnesota Vikings have a moment of silence for Khyree Jackson before the game against the Las Vegas Raiders at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Maryland State Police responded to a crash at 3:14 a.m. on July 6, 2024, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The three people killed, who were former Wise High School football teammates, were occupants of a maroon Dodge Charger. Isaiah Hazel, 23, was the driver, Jackson was the front-seat passenger and Anthony Lytton Jr., 24, was seated in the back of the vehicle.
Two other vehicles, a silver Infiniti Q50, driven by Clingman, and a silver Chevrolet Impala, were involved in the crash. Authorities say Clingman attempted to change lanes, driving at 109 mph and was legally intoxicated, hitting the Charger and Impala. The Charger hit multiple tree stumps and came to rest there.
None of the four people in the other two vehicles were injured.
