Sports Law: When the Athlete is Cleared (but Remains Tainted)?
Rams running back Steven Jackson has been cleared of allegations that he beat his girlfriend, who was nine months pregnant at the time of the accusations.
Investigators found insufficient evidence that Jackson, 26, attacked Supriya Harris of Mableton, Ga., in March 2009, Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan said. "Our investigation is complete," said Morgan, a department spokeswoman. "I don't think the time passage was a factor here. We contacted the victim, the accused and witnesses. There's insufficient evidence to go forward with the case.
We can only go by what we are told from published reports, but one has to wonder about this. Jackson has been cleared but his name will forever be linked to the allegations.
