McClain was in Decatur for a funeral last November. He and a man named Jaradious Willingham were arrested after an altercation in which they attacked Rishard Tapscott that night.
On Wednesday, a cell phone video of the attack surfaced. On Thursday, McClain’s co-defendant, Willingham, pleaded guilty to 3rd degree assault before the trial and agreed to testify against McClain. Willingham received 90 days in jail and a $300 fine.
Tapscott also filed a civil suit against McClain and Willingham for damages related to the attack.
McClain will also face discipline from the NFL, most likely in the form of a suspension.
