I've been a deputy prosecutor, so I know how this works. If this were a property damage case, or a scuffle, no problem. But once a felony assault case is turned over to the DA, the DA will not usually just drop the case because the victim has been paid off or no longer wants to go forward. In California this is a strike offense, and former Raiders coach Randy Hansen was convicted with similar facts.
I hear what you're saying...but there is new info.
1) A few days prior to this incident, the "victim" had pushed and knocked down Brooks causing Brooks to get a 2 inch cut on his leg. Now that in itself doesn't mean much...
Well this tells me there is a much bigger problem than what is being presented on the surface. What other problems are being swept under the rug? Do tell. Sounds like we are missing some information alright.
2) The "victim" asked Brooks for $1,000,000 in order for the whole thing to "go away". Brooks refused.
Not sure of your point here. Are you implying that the Victim was blackmailing Brooks? Interesting. So did the Victim stage this whole thing and then get team mates to go along with it? Were they gonna split the money?
If your the DA, doesn't that sound just a tad suspicious?
I don't know about what a DA thinks but to a fan of a division rival it sounds like their are more problems brewing than are being let on. Sounds like you have the chemistry of a great locker room. Good luck with your latest trade bring in another questionable character/repeat offender.
