Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been charged with second-degree attempted murder in Florida, stemming from an incident in May outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami. Video evidence and witness statements allege Brown fired two shots at a man during a confrontation; one bullet reportedly grazed the victim\u2019s neck. Brown was arrested abroad in Dubai by U.S. Marshals and extradited back to the United States to face the charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In court, Brown pleaded not guilty and asserted he acted in self-defense, claiming he was attacked and responded accordingly. The judge set bail at $25,000 and ordered Brown released on bond, under strict conditions including house arrest and a GPS ankle monitor. Prosecutors had pushed for him to be held without bail, arguing his international travel history made him a flight risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The defending side believes that Brown was traveling to avoid his penalty. They believe that he went to a specific country because Brown believed that it was non-extraditable. The victim’s lawyer, Richard Cooper, believes that Browns only intention was to kill his client the entire time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If convicted of the charge, Brown faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine. The case marks another major legal episode in Brown\u2019s post-NFL life, which has already been marked by prior legal issues and controversies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
