Aaron Donald receives apology from attorney for accusation

NFL star and Pitt alum Aaron Donald was accused of assault earlier this week, but after video of the incident surfaced Friday, Todd Hollis, the attorney representing Donald’s accuser, said his client was mistaken when he identified Donald as his attacker. Hollis also apologized to Donald on behalf of his client.

“I wanted to make this statement public and to extend an apology to Aaron for what he’s gone through,” Hollis said, according to Bryant Reed of KDKA. “But I clearly know this was not him.”

The Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle was accused of assault by DeVincent Spriggs on Wednesday.
