Warren Sapp Battery Charges Not Filed
Inconsistencies Save NFL Star
Warren Sapp may have been one of the most aggressive players in the NFL, but a recent legal decision suggests that his hard-hitting ways do not extend beyond the field. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Florida State Attorney's office will not file charges against Sapp "due to the totality of the evidence and inconsistencies with the victim testimony and the physical evidence gathered during the investigation." Earlier this year, Sapp was taken in by police during the Super Bowl weekend in Miami after a woman told officials that Sapp had beaten her in his hotel room. She claimed that she was so badly injured that she could barely walk, but video surveillance tapes apparently show that she was walking fine. Given the inconsistencies, Sapp will not be facing a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.
Sapp is a popular retired football player who, in over a decade in the NFL, won 6 All-Pro selections, 7 Pro-Bowl selections, and a Super Bowl title. His 96.5 career sacks rank him at number 2 for most career sacks for a defensive tackle. He has been involved in a number of controversies for his actions on the field, including some that have resulted in fines and an ejection for unsportsmanlike conduct, but he has also shown his sensitive side. In 2008, he placed second in the Dancing with the Stars competition.
