Media outlets across the country reported that a Fort Bend County grand jury declined to indict former NBA player Patrick Beverley on felony assault charges, ending an investigation into allegations made by his teenage sister.
News coverage included outlets from ESPN, USA Today, and TMZ to name a few.
Beverly was represented by Rusty Hardin & Associates founder Rusty Hardin and Quinones & Associates founder Letitia Quinones-Hollins.
The “no bill” decision in February indicates insufficient evidence to proceed with formal prosecution.
A statement was provided to the media by Mr. Hardin and Ms. Quinones-Hollins, “Patrick wants everyone to know that he would never do anything to harm his sister and that he is very grateful that the grand jury has recognized that with their no-bill. He is thankful for all who prayed for him and supported him during this time. He is glad that the process was allowed to work as it did and his hope is that with these charges behind him now, his name and reputation will be restored.”
