Former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin must go to trial on felony charges related to a threatening post on his Instagram account in February 2018.
The image on the post showed a shotgun and ammunition and tagged four accounts, including those belonging to former Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey. It also included hashtags for Harvard-Westlake, where Martin went to high school, and the Miami Dolphins.
The caption read: "When you're a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge."
While Martin's lawyer argued that the post was not specific enough to constitute a criminal threat, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels disagreed.
