Civil proceedings against Jabrilla Peppers will continue

Criminal proceedings against the security of PatriotS Jabrilla Peppers ended with the acquittal. Civil proceedings will continue.

The lawyer representing the prosecutor has given a statement after the verdict on Friday. It is clear that the litigation is not over.

“We applaud our client in its strength and courage in testifying about these traumatic events,” said lawyer David E. Gottlieb. “The verdict that is not the fault does not mean that Mr. Peppers is innocent; This just means that the jury determined that the charges were not proven out of reasonable doubt, which is the largest burden recognized by law. We are convinced that the civil trial will give a completely different outcome as it was in many other cases. “

The Peppers lawyer disagrees, as they often do lawyers who represent opposing interests.

“I usually say, ‘My client was declared innocent’,” Marc Brofsky said over the Associated Press. “But in this case I will say, ‘Was declared innocent‘Given the state of evidence, given how fast the jury returned its judgment. They knew it was a joke. “

Peppers also advertised around outcomes.

“In many situations, many guys are calming down because they don’t want a media show, they don’t want their name to pull through the mud so,” Peppers said. “But I’m a guy guy, I’m standing for what’s right. . . . I have to protect myself a little more. I encourage every man or woman who have something to lose if you ever find yourself in a situation like I have been, you have to record it because it may be the only thing that saves you. “

Again, the civic procedure will continue. The standard in such cases is the dominance of evidence, which is another way to say “more likely than not”.

Peppers also faces potential league discipline according to the reduced standard of personal behavior policy. League policy of abuse of substances could result in separate discipline, given that he recognized the possession of cocaine before the start of the two-day trial.
