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.

Katherine Pierce was a staple of the *Vampire Diaries* universe. But at one point in the series, the writers had to fight to tell more of her story.

"We had to negotiate for the right to let Nina [Dobrev] play Katherine again because the season 2 Katherine [story] had really taken everything out of her and the network was being very protective," executive producer Julie Plec says about the show's fifth season during episode 5 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. "[The network] and studio were being very protective and they were like, 'You can't do that anymore, you can't have Katherine.'"

On an earlier episode of the podcast, Dobrev spoke about how exhausted she was at the end of season 2, the first season in which she played both Elena and Katherine in the present day. So when it came time to make Katherine human and even introduce a third Petrova doppelgänger, the writers had to get creative. "We had to basically beg the network to let us even write story for Katherine," Plec says, noting that "the triplegänger made the whole thing worth it."

Fans will remember that season 5 featured Katherine taking over Elena's body, which meant that for a good chunk of the season, Dobrev only had one character to play. And then, eventually, Katherine met her demise, a decision that also came about following those negotiations. "I literally think we had to say we'll kill her in order to get permission to use her," Plec recalls.

Additionally, during the podcast, Plec discusses the choice to have Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) be the two characters who "die" together at the end of season 5, which led to a discussion about Bamon, the popular ship. "Bonnie and Damon had a thing in the books we had sort of always said, 'We don't buy a romantic connection between Bonnie and Damon because Damon's just done too many terrible things and Bonnie just has more integrity than that,'" Plec says. "But we wanted to service that relationship in the canon a little bit."
