FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – The last time we saw former Miami Dolphins player Mark Walton leaving jail, he skipped his way out and over to a waiting car. Now, he’s no longer facing charges of aggravated battery against his pregnant girlfriend, which he shares another child with too.
“It was the conclusion of Mark Walton’s case here in Broward County and the charges were dismissed by the state,” said Michael Gottlieb, Walton’s attorney.
Gottlieb represented Walton in the case where he’s accused of shoving and punching his pregnant girlfriend in their home in Davie last November.
In a memo closing out the case, prosecutors say they could prove “…the defendant had clearly lied to police about his whereabouts that evening.
