We had been working through an outcome like this with the Kenner prosecutor, exchanging videos and seeing if there was any evidence of their allegations," Becnel told ESPN on Wednesday. "There was no evidence of injuries, medical bills. There was no evidence of property damage. The complainant alleged that there was video of an assault and there was no video. The prosecutor reviewed the matter, we made our case to him, and he agreed, and the matter was dismissed today."

“No video evidence” does not mean he didn’t do it

Because you were there in person and witnessed that he did?

I’m telling you that all this means is there is no video evidence to pursue the charges so the DA decided to drop them

maybe because Mike’s pocketbook leaned on them when he’s trying to get a job

Are you insinuating Kenner’s DA is corrupt and Mike tried to bribe him?

I’m being facetious, brainlet. They did meet with the DA because he’s trying to get a job, however

He entered pretrial diversion. It's an agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor. He might have to pay a fine, take an anger management course, do community service, or whatever. If he does whatever he agreed to do, the prosecutor dismisses the case.

It's like a mild probation, but the court isn't ordering you to do it. It's basically a settlement with the prosecutor. If pretrial diversion is completed and the case is dismissed, it's just a dismissal as far as the court is concerned.

These things got worked out by lawyers in advance. Both sides took the path of least resistance. The announcement is nothing more than PR for both sides.

Correct. His lawyer gets to say whatever he wants now and paint the picture for his new suitors

So does the Kenner DA as well. The fact that through that whole mess the DA doesn’t press any charges is kind of ridiculous and more of an indictment of bad police work by the Kenner PD. Im not even a Mike Thomas fan but this is a bad look for the Kenner PD.

I'm no expert but MT taking a pretrial diversion to make the charges go away doesn't scream innocent to me.

Does it scream guilty to you?

Not really, but probably more guilty than not guilty.

In case you're interested in what MT sign to get the charges dropped. It's not the actual one Mike signed but it explains why and how they're used.
