Sims-Walker offered to take blame for Marshall

Former NFL receiver Michael Anthony Sims-Walker says he offered to take any blame for an encounter at a New York City nightclub that resulted in a chain of events over which New York Jets receiver Brandon Marshall is being sued.

Sims-Walker, in a deposition read aloud Wednesday by attorneys in the civil trial against Marshall, said Marshall left the club immediately after his wife was struck by a bottle, which left her bloody and crying hysterically after her lip was torn and several teeth were knocked out.

Sims-Walker's deposition testimony was read on the same day that Christin Myles, a Chino, California woman, finished testifying about the March 2012 encounter that she said left her with permanent injuries, including an eye scar and neck and back pain.
