Earlier today we pointed out that Marshall first Fiancee Rasheedah Watley had accused him of Domestic Violence in the past (one charged was dropped and a second charge Marshall was acquitted).
New information brought to light by Mike Freeman of CBS Sports shows Watley now has a lawsuit pending against Marshall because of that alleged abuse. As you can imagine she isn’t surprised about the incident that happen between Marshall and his wife Michi Nogami Marshall.
Here are the details.
n 2007, three years before police say Marshall’s wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall, stabbed Marshall in what she claims was self-defense, he was involved in another domestic violence case. Marshall was arrested for domestic violence against then-girlfriend Rasheeda Watley. Those charges were later dropped, but Brandon Marshall was ordered to complete anger management classes. One year later he was accused of battery by Watley. Marshall was acquitted.
Watley later filed a civil suit against Marshall. CBSSports.com has learned that a motion by Marshall to dismiss the suit was denied late last week, according to Watley. Marshall was ordered to give depositions in the case possibly as early as next week, Watley said.
So in only a matter of hours after a court decision harmful to Marshall and a few days before he was to possibly give a deposition, both according to Watley, the star Miami wide receiver is involved in a domestic dispute.
“I guess I can tell you I’m not surprised about any of this,” Watley told CBSSports.com in a telephone interview.
Was it the lawsuit that lead to the altercation that has left Marshall in the hospital?
Only Marshall and his wife knows, but the reason that people aren’t quick to paint Marshall as a victim just yet is because of his past. I encourage people before they past judgment on anyone to wait until more facts come out.
When you are stabbed to the point you have to go to ICU that isn’t a scratch. Something serious happened in the Marshall’s house and whoever is at fault need to face charges.
Marshall is very lucky to be alive today and hopefully this will be the incident that helps him get his life in order.
