NFL Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent leaves court in Dallas on Friday May 24, 2013, after a hearing to determine if he violated the terms of his bail. He is facing intoxication manslaughter charges in the Dec. 8 crash that killed Jerry Brown Jr., a Cowboys' practice squad player. He's been free on $100,000 bond, but prosecutors say he violated the terms of his release by setting off an alcohol monitoring device and failing to download data from it as required. Judge Robert Burns said Friday that he would not raise Brent's bond, but ordered extra alcohol monitoring.
