Brandon Meriweather Legal Guardian On Shooting: ‘It’s Not True’
“I’m sure the attorneys will handle whatever needs to be handled,” Bridges said. “‘Everything will come out if there’s anything to come out. But statements have been given by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department that Brandon Meriweather is not a victim, nor a person of interest in any shooting.”
Bridges also suggested defamation of character was a legal route they could possible pursue if/when these allegations are proved false. The Patriots have also issued a quick statement on the allegations indicating they’re aware of them but don’t have any additional information.
As Bridges noted, authorities have not named Meriweather a suspect and is not a person of interest in the shooting.
