SMH…
“Battery” sounds like a typical ‘slap-fight’ or ‘fistfight’ or someone throwing punches. Then add in the “aggravated” account with the weapon and it’s a lot more serious. WNBA women are not easy targets (typically), so we don’t really know what precipitated this event. But one thing is certain, an NFL linebacker should NOT be slapping, hitting, punching, or threatening ANYONE with or without a weapon, especially not a woman. I certainly hope Ms Jackson is OK and not badly hurt.
As far as James Pearce is concerned, I hate that he is involved — but I suspect this will be a learning moment for him. It will undoubtedly cost him greatly. Fines, SUSPENSION..??? Maybe a LONG suspension, a whole year possibly..?? Who knows….. Much depends on Ms Jackson and what happens moving forward. This is serious.
