Carolina Panthers interim general manager Marty Hurney was scheduled to meet with an NFL investigator in Charlotte on Friday, the first step in a process he hopes will clear his name and help him get his job back.
Hurney was slated to answer questions Friday morning from Lisa Friel, the former New York City sex-crimes prosecutor hired by the NFL in 2014 to help commissioner Roger Goodell with domestic violence cases.
Kathi Lucchesi, Hurney’s Charlotte-based attorney, declined comment Friday in an email to the Observer.
Hurney has been on paid administrative leave since Monday after his ex-wife, Jeanne Hurney, accused him of harassment last week while seeking a temporary restraining order.
