The Travis County district attorney's office dismissed the felony domestic violence charge against former Texas Longhorns coach Chris Beard.
, who lost his job after his fiancée called 911 and said he had attacked her.
Beard's fiancée, Randi Trew, released a statement several days after his arrest saying that"it was never my intent to have him arrested or prosecuted.""After a careful and thorough review of the evidence, recent public statements, and considering Ms. Trew’s wishes, our office has determined that the felony offense cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt," the DA's office said in a statement.
According to Beard's arrest affidavit, Trew said the couple had been arguing about their relationship for several days. She told police she approached Beard in a guest bedroom and, after Beard ignored her, she became frustrated and took his eyeglasses from his hand and broke them. She also told police that she"did not feel safe."Beard's attorney said in a statement Wednesday that he and Beard are pleased with the decision.
“Everyone knows that Coach Beard has maintained his absolute innocence since the moment he was arrested," Perry Minton, Beard's lawyer, said."Today, the district attorney has filed a motion to dismiss the case in the interest of justice, which is not common. Additionally, this district attorney has a well-earned reputation for being very tough regarding domestic violence cases. The fact that Mr. Garza’s review resulted in this determination says a lot. We are very pleased.
