Broncos' Jonathon Cooper Pleads Not Guilty in Domestic Violence Case; Jury Trial Set for November
The Broncos linebacker faces five charges, including felony assault, after two summer arrests tied to domestic incidents, and could face a lengthy NFL suspension.
- On Monday, Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper pleaded not guilty in Douglas County District Court to charges including felony assault stemming from June arrests. District Court Judge Daniel Warhola set the trial for November 10, 12 and 13.
- Cooper's charges stem from multiple arrests in June during a seven-day span: first for an alleged domestic violence incident involving strangulation with his ex-girlfriend, and second for violating a protection order.
- The NFL placed Cooper on the commissioner's exempt list on Sunday, prohibiting him from practicing or playing in games while remaining paid and permitted to access team facilities during the league's investigation.
- Attorney Harvey Steinberg requested a swift trial, telling Judge Warhola the case has had a "very negative impact on my client's ability to make a living," with proceedings set for November 10, 12 and 13.
- Broncos General Manager George Paton stated, "It's part of the process," as the team monitors legal developments and supports Cooper; he faces potential lengthy suspension under the NFL's domestic violence policy.
