Yesterday we brought you some of the conflicting stories concerning Brandon Marshall's March arrest for domestic violence. Marshall's denials ranged from the abject to the vague but overriding the whole thing was his assertion that he was the victim of a shakedown attempt and not a serial batterer of women.Now, the attorney for Marshall's former girlfriend has fired back at the Bronco receiver.
"His story that he has been a victim is as pathetic as the story that he slipped on a McDonald's bag and injured his arm," David McGill, one of the two attorneys representing Rasheedah Watley, said Thursday night. "Hopefully, he will be as eager to tell his story in a court of law, under oath, as he has been in the media."McGill also contradicted any notion that there was no physical abuse by saying that there was physical evidence to prove that part of his case. Marshall maintains that the only physical interaction was when Watley's sisters attacked him, causing a cut on his hand noted by police on the night in question.
In the Rocky Mountain News, Bernie Lincicome argues that it might be time for the Broncos to prepare a way out for Marshall.
I think on the field trumps off the field in the NFL, which is why, short of a case of Pacman fever, Marshall will be with the Broncos this season.Nothing he has done on the field or off the field would indicate he is more trouble than he is worth. Yet.
