Overview

• Jabrill Peppers, a New England Patriots captain, was arrested in October on charges including assault, strangulation, and possession of cocaine.
• The alleged victim claims Peppers choked her multiple times, smashed her head into a wall, and threw her down stairs during an altercation at his residence.
• Peppers has pleaded not guilty and his lawyer argues that video evidence shows no injuries consistent with the allegations.
• The plaintiff has filed a $10.5 million civil suit, which Peppers' attorney suggests undermines the credibility of the criminal case.
• Peppers remains on the NFL's commissioner exempt list, barring him from games and practices but allowing him to continue receiving his salary.
