DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – Attorneys for Dallas Cowboy Ezekiel Elliott have issued a statement about the running back’s recent six-game suspension handed down by the NFL on Friday.
The league issued a statement about its decision that laid out details of its investigation into allegations of domestic violence against Elliot.
“League investigators interviewed more than a dozen witnesses, including Ms. Tiffany Thompson, who had alleged multiple instances of physical violence in July 2016, and Mr. Elliott. The league also consulted with medical experts. League investigators examined all available evidence, including photographic and digital evidence, thousands of text messages and other records of electronic communication.”
Elliot’s attorneys immediately responded in a statement that said in part “the NFL’s findings are replete with factual inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions and it ‘cherry picks’ so called evidence to support its conclusion while ignoring other critical evidence,” he said.
