Patriots' Jabrill Peppers acquitted of domestic violence charges
Briefly

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was acquitted of three domestic violence charges in Quincy District Court after being accused of assault and battery, strangulation, and drug possession. Following his Oct. 5 arrest, he testified in court for two days, leading to a quick jury deliberation. Additionally, Peppers accepted a plea deal for possession of cocaine found at his arrest, which will be dismissed if he complies with drug testing. Peppers faced a challenging season, being placed on the commissioner's exempt list and battling injuries, yet he signed a contract extension and remained a key player for the Patriots.
Besides being found not guilty on all three of the domestic violence charges, Peppers also entered a plea deal for the fourth charge - a misdemeanor drug possession charge stemming from cocaine found in his wallet on the night of his arrest.
Jabrill Peppers stood trial on three charges of domestic violence and was acquitted of all, while also dealing with a misdemeanor drug possession charge.
Peppers was arrested on Oct. 5 and charged with domestic violence, but he successfully presented his case in court and secured an acquittal on all charges.
He missed eight games due to his arrest-related situation, returning only to sit out three more games with a hamstring injury.
