No charges for Landry in domestic incident
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
Prosecutors have decided not to file charges against Miami Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry over allegations of domestic violence.
The Broward State Attorney’s Office said an investigation determined there was “no reasonable likelihood” of a conviction. The case involved an April 1 encounter between Landry and Estrella Cerqueira, the mother of their daughter.
“The victim maintains that the defendant did not intent to touch her (or) strike her, but accidentally did so,” said a memorandum filed Monday by assistant state attorney Stefanie Newman.
There were no witnesses to the encounter at Landry’s residence, and video surveillance appeared to corroborate Cerqueira’s account, the prosecutor said.
