This is a plausible explanation and if true it sucks for McDonald, but it is too little, too late, once he was arrested for domestic violence earlier this week, his career was over.
McDonald’s lawyer gave a statement to ESPN’s Josina Anderson about what happened when he was arrested for the 2nd time in 2 days.
“When Ray McDonald was released from jail he was not served with a restraining order. They say there is a restraining order now but they never served him with it.”
While Defilippis said “the only thing (McDonald) got was a booking sheet when he left,” he also added, “they told him to stay away from her.”
Defilippis also provided his explanation for what occurred prior to McDonald’s second arrest this week.
“Today my investigator contacted her and confirmed that she was in Santa Cruz, and Ray went over to the apartment to meet the investigator to let him in so that he could get photographs of this allegedly broken door, and lo and behold the cops show up and arrest him,” said Defilippis.
Mr. Defilippis says this is all gamesmanship on the part of the cops and he also claims they have a witness who will say McDonald never laid a hand on the alleged victim.
