Former Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner was sentenced to eight years in a state prison on Tuesday after pleading no contest to an attempted murder murder charge, TMZ Sports reports.
The 34-year-old ex-NFL star was arrested in La Verne, Calif. on July 8 and charged with four felonies, including attempted murder, and two misdemeanors after Browner broke into his ex-girlfriends home through a window and threatened to kill the victim, whom he allegedly smothered in a carpet. Her two children were reportedly present at the time of the alleged incident.
Browner had a previous relationship with the victim and had been arrested for domestic violence against her earlier this year.
