Last week former WBC light middleweight champion Jermell Charlo, 28, was acquitted of domestic violence charges. He had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman at his Dallas condo last May (per Los Angeles Times).
Charlo’s charges included felony domestic assault and misdemeanor assault after he was accused of choking and striking the woman. Charlo rejected the offer of a plea deal in the case and instead went to trial, knowing he could have faced a three to ten year sentence if convicted.
The trial began on Monday, March 18th and lasted for three days.
