Or it could be a matter of someone trying to get paid by someone who has a lot of money. This incident happened over a year ago. Why did it take this long to indict? If I were Bennett's lawyer I'd advise him to settle out of court. Having a 66-year old paraplegic wheeled into court will not go well for him with any jury. He's probably a scumbag but let's wait to see the facts before convicting the man.

Uhhhhhhh, the naked rampage video and his blood smeared everywhere wasn’t enough?

Maybe the DA is Chemical Ali.

Nope. But then I didn't have any before this either.

He is a POS, and he still needs to publicly apologize to the LVPD for the despicable lie he told.

Karma usually gains weight and interest as it turns around.

No video supporting the events so they had to interview a lot of people.

He cannot settle a felony charge from the grand jury out of court to my knowledge. It goes to trial once the GJ says so doesn't it? He can set up a plea for when he is in court though I believe.

NFL star Michael Bennett indicted over injury to paraplegic woman at Super Bowl 51

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett was accused Friday in an indictment of rushing onto the field at last year’s Super Bowl and injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic woman working as a security guard, Texas prosecutors said Friday.

A Houston grand jury returned the indictment charging Bennett with shoving past the woman as he tried to get on the field after the game to celebrate with his brother.

Bennett, 32, was charged with a felony count of injury to the elderly. A warrant for his arrest was issued by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Bennett was in the stands for the game as a spectator. He was in Houston for Super Bowl 51 to watch his brother, a member of the New England Patriots. The Pats won the game after rallying from a 28-point deficit against the Atlanta Falcons.

“NRG Security personnel, including the 66-year-old disabled victim, told Bennett he had to use a different entrance for field access,” the DA’s office said in a news release.

“Instead, he pushed through them, including the elderly woman who was part of the security team,” according to the release.

Her injuries weren't described in the release.

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Bennett from the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month.

The charge against Bennett carries a penalty of up to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Prosecutors are working with Bennett’s counsel on a surrender date, Fox 26 Houstonreported.

You're correct but this involves an alleged shove not a brutal assault. A plea deal to a lesser charge along with an out of court financial settlement is most likely to happen.

Why do I get this feeling that if the house in on fire, Bennett would run over his own kids to get out, then blame the fire department for not arriving on time.

NO EXCUSE


HPD says one of their officers witnessed Bennett push 3 stadium employees... injuring the 66-year-old who was in a heavy, motorized wheelchair. Cops say the wheelchair did not flip over, however, the woman was pushed back.

There is no video of the incident, according to cops.

The injured employee still works at the stadium.

Report: Seahawks unaware of Michael Bennett’s alleged incident until Friday

The Seahawks “were not aware” that Houston police were investigating Michael Bennett before they traded him to the Eagles, Gregg Bell of The News Tribunereports.

A Houston grand jury indicted Bennett on a felony charge of injury of the elderly, stemming from an incident at last year’s Super Bowl. The charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The 66-year-old woman, a stadium employee, sprained a shoulder after Bennett shoved her while trying to rush the field after the game, Houston police chief Art Acevedo said.

Bennett, then with the Seahawks, is a Houston native who was at the game to watch his brother, Martellus, who played with the Patriots at the time.

On March 7, the Seahawks agreed to trade Bennett and a seventh-round pick to the Eagles for backup receiver Marcus Johnson and a fifth-round pick.

Bennett is a crappy person. We all know that. But this whole situation reeks. It doesn't smell right. Let's toss out a few obvious questions:
1. If the officer saw Bennett breaking the law (and assaulting an elderly woman), why did he not arrest him at the scene?
2. Why did it take 13 months for him to be arrested? The Houston PD had better things to do? Puhlease.
3. How is there no video at the fucking Super Bowl?
4. Why is an elderly woman in a wheelchair working security at the Super Bowl?(This is more of a rhetorical question)

This does not add up.

Well, for 1, it was at the Superbowl. After the game when there is chaos and celebrating with about 70,000 people.
This didn't happen at a movie theatre

Because you have to make "reasonable accommodations" for people with disabilities to assist them in doing the assigned duties for a job and you can't discriminate against people over 40 for their age. Probably 90% of being security at the super bowl is being in an signed place and telling not too go that way. You can totally do that from a wheelchair at 66 years old. The other two security people can do the actual stopping if necessary.
