Ex-NFL OL Jonathan Martin Will Go to Trial over 2018 Instagram Post

A judge has ruled former NFL offensive lineman Jonathan Martin will face trial on multiple felony counts related to an Instagram post he made in 2018.

Nancy Dillon of the New York Post reported that he searched Richie Incognito's name before ordering a gun. Martin tagged Incognito and former Harvard-Westlake High School classmates in an Instagram post with the caption, "When you're a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge."

The post featured a photo of a shotgun with 19 shells.

Martin's lawyers argued the post didn't constitute a criminal threat.
