Justice is blind, for once

Adam “Pacman” Jones of the Cincinnati Bengals will go free after he was found not guilty of assault after he punched a woman in a nightclub. He narrowly missed being sentenced with six months in prison if he had been convicted.

Surveillance video revealed that the woman, Shannon Wesley, was using a broken beer bottle against Jones’ face, near his eye. The witnesses testified that there was cursing on both sides, but Wesley was deemed to be the aggressor with a weapon.

“This man was only defending himself when he was threatened,” attorney Ralph Kohnen said.

Jones is free but could still face discipline from the NFL when he returns.

The video shows at the :50 second mark what appears to be a woman in a yellow dress making some form of contact with his head. Then she finds herself laid out on the floor after a furious punch to the face.
