Lawyers hired by New York Jets defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman contend the coach is innocent of any wrongdoing last month at Pazzo Pazzo in Morristown, where a Morris Township woman alleged that he slapped her.
The New York Daily News reports that attorneys Patricia Prezioso and Bruce Rosen investigated the matter and the coach was satisfied with the findings, but has decided against pressing civil or criminal charges against his accuser because of “the distraction it would cause.”
Morristown police confirmed that the woman spoke with them after the alleged incident, which she claimed occurred on the patio of the Speedwell Avenue restaurant on May 14, 2014. The woman did not file a complaint, according to police.
