Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant and his mother appeared at a press conference yesterday to clear the air about Dez' arrest for attacking her last week...
Neither Dez nor his mother spoke to the assembled media, instead a prepared statement was read by Dez' lawyer that said in part,
"Did a family disagreement occur? Yes. Did Dez Bryant commit family violence against his mother? No."
"They are here together today to show they do love and support each other, just as much as they did before the incident a week ago. But like all families, the Bryants have disagreements."
"Mr. Bryant and his family understand the serious nature of family violence. They believe when all of the facts are reviewed, Mr. Bryant will be cleared of any allegations of family violence."
"Angela Bryant does not want charges filed against her son. Ms. Bryant has had an opportunity to speak with other people who witnessed the incident and has field an Affidavit of Non Prosecution with the DeSoto Police Department. She recognizes that under the law, filing an affidavit may not impact the legal outcome of her complaint. She asks that her affidavit be taken into considering in deciding whether it is in the best interest of her family for this to continue in the legal system or allow them to resolve the issue as a family."
"Dez and his mother believe this is a family matter that can be worked through couseling. "They ask that there not be a rush to judgement concerning their family. They also ask for your continued prayers and support for their family as they work through this matter."
