Lawrence Phillips, the former star running back, will be prosecuted for the death of his cellmate, a legal secretary with the Kern County (Calif.) District Attorney's office told USA TODAY Sports Friday.

Criminal charges against Phillips in the death of Damion Soward — found dead in April inside the cell he shared with Phillips in Kern Valley State Prison, will be filed with the court next week, said Pam Marshall — legal secretary with the district attorney's office. Marshall said she will be filing the criminal complaint and related paperwork.

Phillips, 40, who starred for the University of Nebraska in the 1990s before playing in the NFL, has not been available for comment. He is serving 31 years for driving his car into three teenagers and assaulting an ex-girlfriend.

Prison officials identified Phillips as the suspected killer when Soward's body was found, triggering an investigation into the death. Marshall said the investigation is complete.

Andrea Bridges, who will be prosecuting the case, could not immediately be reached for comment.

In June, USA TODAY Sports published a series of letters he wrote to former coaches and a mentor that referred to run-ins he had with inmates with gang ties. Soward was a former gang member serving 82 years to life for first-degree murder.

Yeah, somewhat to the point of confusion. Either keep doing what you've been doing since childhood: only now, you're getting paid millions of dollars for it, or turn into a serial abuser and killer. As good a person as I think Osborne has been in other aspects of his life and career, he really needs to at least personally reflect on his accommodating Phillips after that first assault, on a fellow student athlete no less.

This is how I imagined Tyson would turn out, but he wasn't repeatedly stalking and assaulting ex-girlfriends like Phillips. You screw up long and hard enough, that one moment of reflection might be too much to handle.
