Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman, sued this week by Tila Tequila Nguyen for battery, assault, and false imprisonment, has spoken publicly regarding the lawsuit.
The case arises from an alleged incident that occurred in early September at Merriman’s home. Though Merriman was arrested, prosecutors decided not to pursue charges.
“The DA’s office, you know, said I didn’t do anything wrong,” Merriman said, according to 10News.com.
But that’s not what the DA concluded. The question wasn’t whether Merriman did anything wrong -- the question was whether it could be proven in court that Merriman had done something illegal.
Indeed, the DA said that charges weren’t filed because there was “insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed.”
Meanwhile, Nguyen now claims that recent erratic behavior -- including a recent naked UStream broadcast -- was triggered by whatever it is that Merriman allegedly did to her.
