http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2016/04/24/manziel-indicted-by-dallas-county-grand-jury/ Sources in the Dallas County District Attorney’s office tell L.P. Phillips of KRLD-AM, Johnny Manziel has been indicted by a Dallas County Grand Jury on a misdemeanor assault with bodily injury charge. The grand jury reviewed evidence in the assault case against former NFL quarterback Manziel, Thursday, April 21. The 23-year-old quarterback is accused of hitting his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley several times while driving from an uptown Dallas bar back to her home in Fort Worth. According to police records, Crowley tried to jump out of the moving car and get to safety, but Manziel stopped, dragged her back into the car and hit her. Crowley told the valet at Hotel Zaza, “Please don’t let him take me,” according to her police report, “I’m scared for my life!” Instead of arresting Manziel, officials with the Dallas Police Department decided to present evidence to the grand jury to decide if they should pursue a misdemeanor case. Sources also said there was an out-of-court civil settlement between Manziel and Crowley over the issue. But at this time there isn’t any indication what the settlement may be. A judge granted Crowley a protective order after January’s multi-city altercation. Manziel has to stay away from Crowley until at least Feb. 3, 2018, including at least 500 feet away from her Fort Worth apartment, according to the order. He also has to pay $12,500 in attorney’s fees and can’t possess a firearm while the order is in effect. Colleen Crowley’s Affidavit Requesting A Protective Order Manziel was cut by the Browns in March after two tumultuous seasons marked by inconsistent play and off-the-field headlines about his partying and drinking. On Tuesday, Manziel was fired by his second agent in three months, Drew Rosenhaus. Manziel was fired by his first agent, Erik Burkhardt, back in February. A second sponsor, Panini, joined Nike in dropping Manziel last week. CBS11’s J.D. Miles reached out to Manziel’s attorney Sunday night. He says he hasn’t been told of the grand jury’s decision.
The misdemeanor indictment from the grand jury is pretty unusual. Usually they handle felony cases. The indictment means the grand jury wants Manziel to be prosecuted. However, I've heard Crowley is not cooperating with a criminal prosecution, so getting a conviction would be problematic. Could be prosecutors don't to go forward, but grand jurors see a crime was committed and want to at least create the hassle/bad publicity of a grand jury indictment against Johnny Screwup.
Ha! That is what I usually do with numb nuts Bayless... Skip On another note I am sure Bayless could not be reached for comment regarding his prediction in 2014 regarding JF.
every time I see the name Skip Bayless I think of the number he did on Troy Aikman and wonder why anybody would hire him or pay attention to his opinions on anything. Scum.
