They both should have been charged.
She struck him which is clear in the video and is being accused of kneeing him in groin. He struck her violently aftwardwards.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but only one wrong is being punished and that isn’t fair.
De’Andre Johnson’s family is upset that the woman is being portrayed as an “innocent victim” in the bar fight that went down on June 24th in Tallahassee.
In fact, we’re told the family says the woman is adamant she was the aggressor. Besides balling up her first and throwing a punch at DJ, we’re told Johnson claims she kneed him in the groin before he struck.
We’re told Johnson’s camp has witnesses that will testify to the testicular assault … and the family wants the D.A. to charge her with a crime “to be fair.” Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor assault.
The family says Johnson is sorry he fought back and knows he should have walked away.
Here is what his lawyer had to say.
Johnson’s lawyer Jose Baez tells TMZ Sports, “While it is clear from the video that De’Andre Johnson was not the initial aggressor, his family wants to take the lead in helping him learn and grow from this experience.”
“He is currently participating in community service, and faith-based programs focused on battered women, substance abuse, and the empowerment of children.”
“De’Andre is extremely embarrassed by this situation and would like to express his heartfelt apologies to everyone, including those who were directly affected, Coach Fisher and his teammates, the entire Florida State University community, as well as his family and friends.”
