Antonio Brown Plea Deal Hearing Postponed

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown's plea deal hearing for an attempted murder charge was postponed until October 28 after the presiding judge was occupied with another case.

The hearing, where Brown was expected to enter a no-contest plea to aggravated assault, was delayed when the judge was in the middle of a different trial. Brown remains on an ankle monitor while awaiting resolution.

Brown's attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, called the postponement a setback but expressed cautious optimism about the agreement, which would result in no jail time for Brown despite his no-contest plea to a felony. Brown faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of the May 2025 incident at a Miami celebrity boxing match, where he claims self-defense under Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law. rocore.sbs
