Former Washington Redskins cornerback Quinton Dunbar plans to plead not guilty to four armed robbery charges, his attorney Michael Grieco told ESPN.
The charges stemmed from an alleged armed robbery and assault that took place in Florida last week, where Dunbar was accused of robbing a group of people at gunpoint alongside New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker.
According to ESPN, these are the next steps in the process:
In the coming weeks, the state attorney’s office will decide whether to go forward toward trial in each of the NFL player’s cases. The burden of proof falls on the state, which saw its four victims recant their story to police in sworn affidavits to Grieco within 36 hours of the event. A fifth person, identified as witness Dominic Johnson, also signed an affidavit saying the players weren’t culpable of the alleged crime. Baker’s attorney Bradford Cohen said he has similar affidavits clearing his client, including some that haven’t been presented to the state, for “a little strategic defense issue” in the event this case goes forward.
While it remains unclear whether or not Dunbar played a legitimate part in the events that occurred on that night, the whole situation seems like something that fans of the Redskins are happy to not be involved with.
