Patriots’ Jabrill Peppers Addresses Acquittal: ‘Just Happy It’s over With’

Jabrill Peppers, a 29-year-old veteran safety entering his fourth season with the Patriots, was cleared of several assault-related charges in January following an incident at his Braintree residence the previous year.
The charges arose from allegations that Peppers assaulted a woman by choking, slamming her head, and throwing her down the stairs, leading to his arrest and placement on the Commissioner's Exempt list for eight games.
Peppers returned to play in December but suffered a season-ending injury shortly after, and has addressed the legal ordeal as a challenging period when football was not his main focus.
After the verdict, Peppers said, "I'm just happy it's over with and I get back to doing what I love to do," and described how he had to be quiet for three months while his name was questioned publicly.
Following his acquittal, Peppers remains a key leader on New England’s redesigned defense and stands as the sole captain from the Patriots’ initial 2024 leadership group to continue with the team, committed to setting a strong example for the younger players.
