The Florida State Attorney’s office will not charge Aroldis Chapman for domestic violence:
One of the interesting notes … investigators say Chapman admitted to injuring his hand (didn’t say which hand) when he punched a car window following an argument with his GF that night.
The document does not explain the extent of the injury.
Chapman also told investigators he did NOT punch his GF during the argument — but rather “poked her on the left shoulder and told her not to talk to him like that.”
As for the gun, prosecutors say no one ever actually saw Chapman fire the gun — but even if he did, it was on his private property and didn’t violate any Florida laws.
I suspect it will be much tougher to suspend Chapman if law enforcement can’t bring charges. If nothing else, the likelihood of a long suspension goes down, and I suspect the MLBPA would fight any suspension tooth and nail. The Yankees took a risk and it paid off.
