New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was found not guilty of assault and battery charges stemming from an incident in October. A woman had accused Peppers of choking and shoving her, but Peppers denied the allegations and claimed she was attempting to harm his career. The jury deliberated for several hours before reaching a verdict.
BOSTON — A jury acquitted New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers on Friday in his assault and battery trial. Peppers finished testifying earlier Friday by denying he choked or shoved his accuser. Peppers, who first took the witness stand on Thursday, had been on trial this week on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
The police report of the October incident supports the woman’s testimony. Police said she refused to go to a hospital and was treated at the home for her injuries. “He grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the wall,” the woman said, at times getting emotional. “My feet weren’t touching the wall and he was holding me up against the wall.” During cross-examination on Thursday, Marc Brofsky, the attorney for Peppers, challenged the woman’s account and the extent of her injuries.
