“He grabbed me by the neck and crashed into the wall,” said the woman, getting excited at times. “My feet did not touch the wall and he held me against the wall.”
Peppers’s lawyer, Marc Brofsky, questioned the woman’s story and the reach of her injuries during the counter -interrogation, pointing out that she waited to call the police until she left the house of Peppers and did not go to the hospital to receive treatment by treatment by the injuries he suffered.
