.@judybattista @goldietaylor "Deactivated"? He needs 2 be suspended indefinitely. He's admitted the conduct but says its "normal", not abuse

@judybattista he needs to get out in front of this and say he was wrong, negotiate a plea bargain, make a donation and pray.

@judybattista @nycjim swift response. Maybe things are changing in the NFL? #AdrianPeterson #nfl

@judybattista @JerodNBC4 It looks like child abuse is another sickness the NFL is going to have to deal with.

TMZ Sports has posted graphic photos which reportedly are part of the police report on the case, showing cuts on the boy’s thigh and hands. Jay Glazer say the grand jury “always had those horrific pics.”
Peterson originally testified Aug 21 in front of grand jury. On Sept 4 they decided not to indict. Now, a week later they decide to indict.

Grand jury always had those horrific pics but didn't originally indict.
