Former Cowboy's appeal denied

DALLAS -- Former
Dallas Cowboys defensive back Dwayne Goodrich's appeal of his conviction in a deadly hit-and-run accident two years ago was denied Thursday.
He was convicted in August 2003 on two counts of criminally negligent homicide and sentenced to 7½ years in prison.
Demont Matthews, 23, and Joby Wood, 21, both of Plano were rescuing a driver from a burning car on Interstate 35 when they were struck by Goodrich's BMW. He left the scene.
Goodrich told jurors that a sport utility vehicle blocked his view of the pre-dawn accident. He said he originally believed, or hoped, he had hit debris. Goodrich returned to the scene hours later and then turned himself into police.
"It's relief -- one thing less that we have to do -- not having to go through another court case," Joby Wood's mother, Laura Wood, told Dallas-Fort Worth television station KDFW.
Goodrich told KDFW that he feels bad that two "good men" died that night, but he doesn't think he should have to go to jail. He also said he would like one day to talk to Laura Wood.
