serving since last Tuesday in a domestic violence case in Tarrant County have found defendant
Daniel Rincones guilty of one of two assault counts and sentenced him to 65 years in prison.
Rincones, who the jury found not guilty of assault-strangulation, was eligible for the extended term
since he was a repeat offender. In February 2019, the defendant received a guilty verdict for
aggravated sexual assault. According to court records, Rincones’ offenses each targeted a member
of his household. During jury selection, Judge David Hagerman of the 297th District Court
reviewed the trial timetable and inquired about prospective jurors’ travel plans.
The trip did not conflict with the plan for trial, Aubrey suggested. “He did not mention being a
Cowboy,” Keating said, although Judge Hagerman, counsel for the state and defense and perhaps
others were familiar with Aubrey’s occupation. The kicker’s work was not again discussed on the
court’s record. Keating declined to say whether, after the punishment verdict, the case’s prosecutors
or defense attorneys talked with Aubrey in the jury room. Such informal, off-the-record meetings
are common.
“Tarrant County heard me and have helped me make it possible to protect others from an evil
man,” victim Tiffany Rincones, Daniel Rincones’ ex-wife, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
following the sentencing ruling. Aubrey returned to the Cowboys’ facilities Wednesday afternoon
after completing his jury duty. He was chosen for the jury last Tuesday and missed practice with the
team. He came to Frisco after trial days to begin working with his special teams unit. Aubrey made
one field goal and three extra points in the one game he played while the lawsuit was pending.
