Jay Mariotti Pleads No Contest to Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Charge, Gets Three Years Probation and 40 Hours of Community Service
By Jason McIntyre
"“Jay is very pleased to have this matter behind him and is anxious to get back to work,” said Mariotti’s attorney Nick Hanna. “While we are confident he would have prevailed at trial, the process would have been long and expensive. Today’s resolution — a no contest plea to a low-level misdemeanor with all of the other charges dismissed — ends the matter once and for all.”"
In addition, Mariotti will have to complete a 52-week domestic violence course and “stay away from the victim in the case.” Now, the fun part: Will ESPN take him back? [LA Times]
