While Mike nor any of his legal team will comment on the matter or why they decided to drop the case, it’s evident that Mike is still experiencing the effects of the scary experience. According to ESPN.com, Mike testified back in October of 2016 during a trial for the case that “he still had black floaters in his right eye from getting hit in the face as well as a broken tooth that he needed to have replaced and lacerations in his mouth.” His daughter, Lindsey, was also injured in the altercation, suffering a broken wrist and a black eye.
Our thoughts are still with all those involved in this unfortunate matter.
