FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Brandon Aubrey was pretty sure being the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys was going to get him out of jury duty.
It's safe to say he was surprised to end up serving on a domestic violence case that lasted a week and ended with his jury sentencing the defendant to 65 years in prison.
“Eye-opening, long, frustrating, depressing, hearing the story,” Aubrey said Thursday in an interview conducted by a member of the Cowboys' media relations staff. “The story was a sad one. I don’t really want to get into all the details of the story, but it was very depressing and dragged on longer than anybody expected it to. So, glad it’s over.”
Aubrey wasn't in the Dallas locker room during the team's media availability on Thursday. A team staffer emailed a transcript of the interview with the kicker to the media later in the day.
