Charges not filed against Marshawn

As I speculated in my last post, the smoke has cleared about the accusations against Marshawn and the DA will not file charges. Thanks to the guys at TBIOOTF for posting about this right away. A new article in the SF Chronicle states:

Prosecutors said a lack of evidence — including no visible injuries or photographs of injuries, a witness’ statement contradicting the accuser and inconsistencies in the woman’s own story — meant the case couldn’t go forward. …

“We have an ethical obligation that we have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And I don’t think we can,” said Alameda County senior deputy district attorney Kim Hunter.

And, in regard to the restraining order that Lynch was supposedly served:

According to court filings in the application for the restraining order, Lynch was served in mid-January at a gym on Cal’s campus with notice of Friday’s hearing. But Lynch’s lawyer said Lynch could never have received the notice because the star running back was out of the state training at the time.

So, that’s that. I’m glad these allegations were short-lived. Look for Marshawn high in the first round of the NFL draft.
