Huge news dropped for University of Houston football player Carmello Brooks, with a grand jury officially declining to indict him on charges he assaulted a pregnant woman. This is a massive development in a case that’s been hanging heavy over the 19-year-old.
The Woman’s Testimony Was A Game-Changer
You gotta remember, Brooks got suspended from the UH football team last week after those initial accusations surfaced, claiming he assaulted a pregnant woman he was dating. But here’s the kicker, and this changed everything: the woman involved actually showed up in court, talking to ABC13, saying flat out she was not assaulted and even defended Brooks. That’s a wild turn, right? And sure enough, on Thursday, the grand jury looked at everything and no-billed him in that specific case.
But Another Charge Is Still On The Books For Brooks
But hold up, it’s not all clear skies for Brooks. Court records show he’s still staring down a misdemeanor charge for breaking a doorknob. And get this, that one involves a *different* pregnant woman. That misdemeanor case is still ongoing, which means this whole thing isn’t wrapped up. Eyewitness News hit up UH to see if Brooks is getting reinstated to the football team after this grand jury decision, but so far? Crickets. Nothing back yet.
So yeah, a major hurdle cleared for Brooks on one front, but this doorknob charge is still out there, hanging over his head. And until UH says something, his future on that football field is still a massive question mark. We’ll be watching this one closely to see what happens next for the 19-year-old.
