The DA didn’t charge Tyreek Hill with a crime, but made a point to say a crime was committed.
He stated the only reason he didn’t charge Hill or his fiancee is that he wasn’t sure who abused their son. Hill and his attorneys released a strong statement saying that Hill is innocent.
Here is what they had to say.
“My son’s health and happiness is my number one priority,” he said in the statement provided to The Star. “I want to thank the Kansas City Chiefs, my attorneys, my agent and my union for supporting me through this.
“My focus remains on working hard to be the best person for my family and our community I can be, and the best player to help our team win.”
Attorneys for Hill released the statement and further commented, saying that their client has maintained from the beginning that he was “innocent of any crime.” The attorneys — Trey Pettlon, Ryan Ginie and Julius Collins — also said Hill has been working with authorities.
“Contrary to some media reports, Tyreek cooperated with law enforcement, waived his Fifth Amendment rights, and answered questions from both law enforcement and DCF (Department for Children and Families),” the attorneys said in the release. “Unfortunately, due to laws related to confidentiality, as much as he would like to, he cannot comment regarding specific allegations.”
Hill’s 3-year-old son has been removed from their home.
Interestingly the lawyers did not say Hill’s fiancee who is pregnant with twins is innocent, just that Hill is.
