As Paul Harvey so often said....the rest of the story.

A lawyer representing Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald says there is video evidence refuting a claim by De'Vincent Spriggs that Donald physically assaulted him outside of a Pittsburgh-area nightclub.

Casey White, an attorney hired by Donald to represent him following allegations levied against him Wednesday, told ESPN that Spriggs swung a bottle at Donald that grazed his head as he ducked, before other people surrounding Donald stepped in.

"As he ducks, somebody from behind grabs him to stop him from interacting from this guy, Mr. Spriggs, so he holds Aaron back in a sense," White said. "At that point, that's when other people come to Aaron's aid and defend him by removing, so to speak, Mr. Spriggs from the area where he is punched and he is fighting, it's a mutual fight at this point between other individuals who Aaron does not really know."

White said that they have obtained five witness accounts and that Donald eventually helped pull people away from Spriggs.

"Aaron actually runs over to his [Mr. Spriggs] aid and starts pulling people off of this guy," White said. "He's trying to get these kids off Spriggs, he gets at least two or three people off of Spriggs and at that point in time, somebody grabs Aaron and says, 'This is not a good situation, let's get the heck out of here.'

"He turned around and it's this Mr. Spriggs, and Mr. Spriggs, and Aaron goes, 'What's up?' and Mr. Spriggs starts yelling belligerently, 'Did I mean to? Did I mean to?' he keeps repeating, it's kind of non-sensical, but he keeps yelling, 'Did I mean to?' It's apparent to Aaron and it's apparent to all the witness that [Spriggs] is intoxicated," White said.

Apparently there is a video of it all as well...which should mean the truth, as usual, lies somewhere in the middle.
