Peppers’ attorney Mark Brofsky said, “We have evidence that completely contradicts the victims story and I expect my client to be fully exonerated.”
I asked, “It was video evidence?”
“Yes, and other evidence as well,” said Brofsky. pic.twitter.com/lz0RAN3Uma— Ryan Breslin (@ryanjbreslin) October 7, 2024
Peppers stated he asked his girlfriend to leave but she refused. He denied ever putting his hands on her and said she fell down the stairs by herself because she was intoxicated.
He declined to comment outside of court today. pic.twitter.com/Va1sYsj29i— Ryan Breslin (@ryanjbreslin) October 7, 2024
