The district attorney who oversaw Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill’s plea agreement for domestic abuse by strangulation that resulted in a deferred three-year sentence said the victim was consulted about and supportive of the arrangement.
“My prosecutor met with her and her family on multiple occasions,” wrote Laura Thomas, district attorney for Payne County, Okla., in an email to The Star on Tuesday. “When we were approached for negotiations, the entire process was discussed with her. She was aware of every requirement we wanted and she wanted.”
Thomas said her office always seeks victim input on domestic violence cases.
