Keating refrained from commenting on whether prosecutors or defense attorneys had discussions with Aubrey in the jury room after the verdict, as such informal interactions are not unusual.

Aubrey was not the jury’s foreman, a role typically associated with a quarterback. Following the sentencing, victim Tiffany Rincones, Daniel’s ex-wife, expressed gratitude to Tarrant County for enabling her to protect others from her former husband’s violent behavior.
