Brandon Marshall not guilty.

It's a shame that he's forever a woman beater when it may not be the case. This woman has major issues and obviously had no qualms about laying the beatdown on him.

Steinberg closed by characterizing Watley as aggressive and volatile, saying she lied to avoid losing the way of life to which she had become accustomed.
"She needs Mr. Marshall. She needs him in her life because she had these dreams and hopes, because she cannot let go," Steinberg said. "When is she going to leave him alone?"
Steinberg told the jury that Watley lied to police about how she got a knife wound in a scuffle with Marshall. He cited a letter she wrote to Goodell in July 2008 saying Marshall hadn't beaten her, but that her family had pressured her to say he did for monetary reasons.
Watley acknowledged under oath that she had lied in both instances to protect Marshall from getting in trouble and being suspended from the NFL.
"Is this the kind of person who is capable of lying when it matters?" Steinberg asked the jury.
