Free agent cornerback Darrelle Revis had a great day in court on Wednesday—and he owes a big thank you to Rashawn Bolton, a friend since the two grew up together in Aliquippa, Penn. Bolton testified in Pittsburgh Municipal Court that he, and not the criminally charged Revis, threw the punches that knocked out two men in an alteration on a Pittsburgh street last month. After hearing Bolton’s testimony, Judge Jeffrey Manning dismissed the charges against Revis.
Background on the incident and its legal aftermath
At around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12, a 22-year-old man named Dallas Cousins approached Revis on a street and began to record Revis on his phone.
