Alleged victim in Von Miller case now claims there was no assault

[Woodman]

The alleged victim in the felony assault case against Bills linebacker Von Miller has apparently recanted her contentions.

Via WFAA, the alleged victim texted, "No one assaulted anyone. This insane. And sad.”

Miller faces a felony charge of assaulting a pregnant person earlier this week in Dallas. Earlier in the day, details emerged regarding the alleged incident.

Via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, the affidavit supporting the arrest warrant shows that an argument began on Wednesday morning, at roughly 10:40 a.m. local time. It started, per the affidavit, over the travel plans of the alleged victim.

She called the police, filed a report and was treated for her injuries but there was no assault?

Von isn't stupid enough to beat up a pregnant woman. He probably bumped into her got served with some papers.

ESPN article goes into great detail about the incident. If she’s recanting now, after he turned himself in and was released, she has his career and his money in mind. If it sticks, they’ll leave a lot of money on the table I would suspect. Not to mention his HoF legacy.

What started the reported altercation? She refused to "travel back on her birthday," according to an arrest affidavit.
"Looking at this, this appears to be a minor incident that they had," said criminal defense attorney Daryl Washington. "Obviously, you hate to ever minimize the complaint that's made by a victim... "

It happened, according to the affidavit at a Dallas high rise on Nov. 29.
Strong words reportedly led to physical "shoving and pushing," between the couple. It culminated in victim yelling, "Stop I'm pregnant!"
But Miller kept pushing, according to the affidavit. Even "stepping on her feet, causing her to fall back into a chair." He then "began applying pressure around" the victim's neck for three to five seconds before letting go," the affidavit read.
The 34-year-old NFL star then reportedly "...grabbed her phone and threw her laptop on the floor and stomped on it."
Washington isn't connected to the case but said even though the accuser wasn't hospitalized, authorities will likely try to move forward with prosecution whether she cooperates or not.
"In cases is like this, we see it all the time. There are complaints that are made by victims and two or three days later, when things clam down and cool off people tend to want to drop these charges, but what we've been seeing lately is that prosecutors are still pursuing these charges, if the evidence, if the photographs, if the recordings if they feel like they have enough evidence, they will still go forward," shared Washington.
Miller's playing status for this weekend remains up in the air.
But he is free on a $5000 bond and out of jail.

$5000 bail for a multi millionaire on a DV call? that must be some sort of a weak case. I wonder how minor those injuries are that the prosecutor felt so unconfident to only aim for 5k bail

nfl doesn't care how weak it is, if he choked her and according to other reports had marks he is done in the nfl... which would be a huge weight off the bills.

Bail is based on flight risk. He turned himself in and needs to stay in the public eye to collect his fat pay checks. Not going anywhere doesn't really need bail.

Hell in New York State they just let murderers and child rapists free on their honor to return. It's called bail reform.

Re: Alleged victim in Von Miller case now claims there was no assault

Miller continued to push the woman as he stepped on her feet, which caused her to fall back into a chair. … He then put a hand on her neck and applied pressure for 3 to 5 seconds, according to the affidavit, which police say caused pain but not difficulty breathing. As she continued to try to gather her belongings, Miller grabbed her phone, threw her laptop on the floor and stomped on it.
As she tried to pick up her laptop, Miller yanked her hair, pulling a chunk of it out and causing her to collapse, the affidavit says. She got up and began to record Miller on her phone, which she put in her pocket, police wrote in the affidavit.
Police responded to the apartment condominium and saw the woman had ‘minor abrasions’ on her left hand, as well as bruising on her abdomen, left bicep and neck that was ‘consistent with applied pressure,’ the affidavit read.
UPDATE: While WFAA obtained the 911 call in which the woman can be heard saying, “My boyfriend is choking and hitting me,” the news outlet reported that when reached by text message, the woman called the incident “a huge misunderstanding.”
“We’re fine,” she wrote. “Things were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous!” The woman texted, “No one assaulted anyone. This is insane. And sad.”

in red.. if true its over for Von ....

Absent some explanation that hasn't materialized yet, it's kind of hard to believe what was described in the report didn't happen. Perhaps she was scared or angry in the moment and made the call. Then when the situation abated realized the financial and reputational consequences. It should be up to her how she wants to handle. Not what I'd advise my daughter, but people should be allowed to make their own choices.

That said, my kid went to school yesterday in a #40 Miller jersey and when he came home it was rolled up in his backpack. Really sad all around.

Texas. Same state where a Jan 6 defendant shot at the cops who went to serve a warrant so they just left and came back later so he could "sober up."
Judge gave him 2 years. That's it.
