New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers testified in his assault and battery trial, denying allegations of choking and shoving a woman. Testimony included the woman's account of being grabbed and slammed against a wall, supported by police reports. Video evidence allegedly showed Peppers filming the encounter. His attorney questioned the woman's claims, suggesting financial motives due to her civil lawsuit. Peppers has faced consequences, missing seven games since being placed on the commissioner's exempt list following the incident.
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.
The police report supports the woman's testimony. She refused to go to a hospital and was treated at home for her injuries.
Marc Brofsky, Peppers' attorney, challenged the woman's account, noting her $9.5 million lawsuit and suggesting she was "looking for money."
Peppers, now on the commissioner's exempt list, missed seven games since the incident on October 9.
