Jury acquits Brandon Marshall

After deliberating for roughly an hour, a Georgia jury has acquitted Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, according to the Denver Post.

The fourth-year player faced charges of misdemeanor battery, arising from allegations that he struck his former girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley, in March 2008.

Though the criminal penalty likely would have been minimal if Marshall had been convicted, the NFL would have potentially dropped the hammer on him.

As it stands, he most likely will face no further punishment from the league.

Unless/until he gets in trouble again.
