Michael McCann, Sports Illustrated’s sports law expert, writes Wednesday that Rodions Kurucs lawyer believes the domestic assault charges against his client are “bogus” and that he will attempt to have them dismissed to avoid a myriad of implications that would follow any guilty plea or verdict.
Early indications suggest that Kurucs doesn’t intend to cut a plea deal but rather seek dismissal of the charges. Kurucs’s attorney, Alex Spiro, tells Sports Illustrated that the allegations against his client are bogus and stem from a bad breakup in the relationship.
”The former couple flew away together arm in arm in the days that followed the alleged incident,” Spiro insists.
