Rice was arrested and charged with simple assault-domestic violence on Feb. 15 following a physical altercation with his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, at the Revel Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J. A complaint against Palmer has already been dismissed.
“I have been advised by the prosecutor’s office that an indictment has been returned,” Rice’s attorney Michael Diamondstein told ESPN on Thursday afternoon. “And again, we deny that he committed an aggravated assault. We don’t think the law would support that [he did]. And we just ask the public to reserve judgment until all of the facts are out.”
