Jabrill Peppers, a safety for the New England Patriots, was acquitted of assault and battery charges after a jury trial examined accusations made by a woman. The woman alleged that Peppers physically assaulted her, but Peppers denied these claims in court, stating he felt she aimed to sabotage his career. Prosecutors presented videos from the incident, while Peppers' defense challenged the woman's credibility. Despite the accusations and a civil lawsuit filed against him, the jury ultimately found him not guilty.
"He grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the wall. My feet weren't touching the wall, and he was holding me up against the wall."
"I believe she was trying to do all this to mess up my career," Peppers stated during his testimony.
