Patrick Patel, one of the lawyers for Giants CB DeAndre Baker, told the New York Post on Tuesday that Baker was playing the "Madden" video game when the 'ruckus' began in another room of the Miami-area party Baker attended last week that is the location of an alleged armed robbery.
Baker, a first-round pick of the Giants in 2019, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to eight charges related to the alleged armed robbery that occurred last week.
"Far from an individual who’s going somewhere with an alleged intent to rob somebody, an armed robbery, to go there and hook up his 'Madden' game, play the game for over an hour and then leave it there and go home," Patel told the Post.
