Johnny Manziel reaches tentative deal on dismissal of domestic assault case
ESPN ^

Posted on 11/17/2016 2:02:49 PM PST by BenLurkin

Brittany Dunn, a spokeswoman for Dallas County prosecutors, said she couldn't comment because the case was still pending.

Manziel, who will turn 24 on Dec. 6, left the courtroom on Thursday without responding to questions. He talked on his phone as he walked ahead of reporters and cameramen and before quickly getting in a car driven by Darnell.

"He's doing OK," Darnell said. "Tough kid."

Judge Roberto Canas met in chambers for about 15 minutes with the defense and prosecutors. Manziel left the meeting after about five minutes and sat alone at the defense table, mostly looking down. The hearing after the meeting was brief, with Canas setting the next court date.

"Everybody will be required to be here," Canas said. "Then we will get this case down the road."

...

The tentative deal doesn't end Manziel's legal troubles. He also faces a lawsuit for his alleged role in trashing a Los Angeles rental home, and Darnell has said he has spoken to the attorney representing a car company that lent a car to Manziel and friends. That car was totaled in an April accident.

Cleveland took Manziel with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 draft. The Browns waived him in March after two tumultuous seasons marked by his inconsistent play and off-the-field headlines about his partying and drinking, including one stint in rehab.

Even though he's an unsigned free agent, Manziel served a four-game suspension this season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the domestic case remains under review by the league.

Here’s the ‘kid’ part.
He never grew up. He’s been a pampered football/baseball athlete all his life: middle school, high school and college.
He could do no wrong. He had no limits and no boundaries. Now he’s physically an adult but mentally an adolescent with car keys and a bottle of whiskey...............

Too bad his girlfriend wasn’t as tough. This freak needs to be dumped from football and the headlines. He’s nothing but a low life scum not worth anyone’s time.

Brown’s? Like is that a team or something? Sounds more like the color of the MSM’s underwear early morning November 9th.

Lucky Paul Brown wasn’t his coach. His ass would have been grass with all his BS.

Maybe they are trying to go for the Lions record.
