Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is scheduled to appear in a Miami courtroom to finalize an expected plea agreement related to an attempted murder case. His lawyer says Brown plans to accept the deal, which is expected to allow him to avoid prison time by pleading to a reduced charge.
Multiple outlets report that the case stems from an incident after a celebrity boxing match, in which Brown was accused of firing shots at a man. One report describes testimony that a bullet grazed the complainant’s neck, while several others note that prosecutors had brought an attempted murder charge that could carry a lengthy prison sentence if convicted.
While most sources agree the plea would prevent incarceration, they differ on how the situation is framed: some describe it as a plea to aggravated assault or a “no contest” position, and others focus on court timing. One outlet also reports the plea hearing has been pushed to an October date, suggesting procedural delays before any resolution.
