Why file an assault charge just because he hit him in the face with a beer bottle?

In California this is a strike offense, and former Raiders coach Randy Hansen was convicted with similar facts.

I hear what you're saying...but there is new info.
1) A few days prior to this incident, the "victim" had pushed and knocked down Brooks causing Brooks to get a 2 inch cut on his leg. Now that in itself doesn't mean much...
Well this tells me there is a much bigger problem than what is being presented on the surface. What other problems are being swept under the rug? Do tell. Sounds like we are missing some information alright.
2) The "victim" asked Brooks for $1,000,000 in order for the whole thing to "go away". Brooks refused.
Not sure of your point here. Are you implying that the Victim was blackmailing Brooks? Interesting. So did the Victim stage this whole thing and then get team mates to go along with it? Were they gonna split the money?
If your the DA, doesn't that sound just a tad suspicious? I don't know about what a DA thinks but to a fan of a division rival it sounds like their are more problems brewing than are being let on. Sounds like you have the chemistry of a great locker room. Good luck with your latest trade bring in another questionable character/repeat offender.

I'll take the PED issue (a league wide issue) a DUI (which may still get dropped) and even a peeing in public over a embarrassingly emotional cry baby coach, a QB publicly and repeatedly showing his lack of maturity and common sense and infighting among team mates any time while you support your coach on a soap box publicly implying his biggest rival is cheating, yet another embarrassing moment especially now in light of the most recent trade.

I think marshawns DUI is as serious as Ahmads. I also think there is a good chance it''s dismissed or bumped to a lesser charge. Never underestimate a what a good leagal beagle can do for your case.
