Domestic Violence, ESPN and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys

Normally when ESPN runs a domestic violence story, it usually involves an athlete, but a recent story actually involved one of its sports reporters. Howard Bryant, a senior writer at ESPN and a frequent panelist on a show called "The Sports Reporters", was arrested for allegedly committing domestic assault and resisting arrest. The incident took place in Massachusetts where the writer lives. Allegedly, he was out with his wife when he was seen attacking her and choking her up against a car. A customer inside a local restaurant called police who then arrested Mr. Bryant. He then allegedly struck the state trooper with an elbow in the chest during the arrest. The police allege they have five witnesses who saw the incident. However, both Mr. Bryant and his wife (the alleged victim in the case) deny the police's account of the situation and both defended Mr. Bryant. The writer released a statement claiming race and a lack of communication led the police to act violently towards him in front of his son. His wife (who is white) made essentially the same statement in defense of her husband.

As any Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorney knows, once someone is accused of domestic assault, they have a very high hill to climb. Even if the alleged victim does not press charges and does not cooperate with police, the authorities are still obligated to investigate the incident. This is why you should contact a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney even if the person you allegedly attacked denies the allegations to police. In this instance, the man was arrested, was forced to pay $5,000 bail and is in danger of losing his job. This high profile individual might have to go through a nightmare of a legal situation all because the police did not understand exactly what was going on and some people saw a white woman with a black man. This may sound disturbing, but it happens quite often.
