Attorneys: Caleb Brantley wasn't the aggressor. He is the victim

Caleb Brantley's attorneys have issued a statement regarding a battery accusation from a complaint that he punched a woman in the face in a fight earlier this month.

The statement from the Gainesville firm Johnson & Osteryoung said Brantley was home until 1:30 a.m. on April 13 before he drove to a restaurant to give a friend a ride. While waiting, he began talking with "a young lady with whom Mr. Brantley had had a prior relationship." She asked about having "an appointment" with him, but he declined.

The statement, signed by Amy Osteryoung, said some women accosted Brantley and said "incredibly foul" things.
