jeaniec Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Looks like no legal charges will be filed against IK http://www.metro.us/kristian-dyer/geno-smith-not-filing-charges-after-being-punched-by-ik-enemkpali/zsJohs---U5I0bhjZfgNEA/ FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Geno Smith has not yet pressed charges and is likely not to, so says a source close to the New York Jets quarterback about last week's altercation at the team's facility. A week ago, Smith was punched in the jaw by IK Enemkpali, the now former Jets linebacker who had a dispute with his quarterback over money. Smith will likely be out for the first month of the season and required jaw surgery, which he had late last week. A source tells Metro New York that Smith has not yet pressed charges against Enemkpali “and likely won't.” The Florham Park Police Department confirmed to Metro that no charges have been filed yet and the police were not called to Atlantic Health Jets Training Center following the fracas. The source indicated to Metro that Smith is unlikely to pursue charges at this time and likely won't. It is unclear if the reason for the Jets quarterback not filing on the incident has anything to do with his perceived role in the fight or rather his willingness to let the incident simmer down.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Jets should. Team lost an "asset" (lol) and it's the best way to ensure IK gets suspended or punished in some way by the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but if geno had a bigger role than we "know of " He can't just lie about it then press charges because that can get you in more trouble IMHO. That being said if Geno is not pressing charges he probably did have a bit more involvement than we are being told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not any indication as to his culpability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lonelyhearts Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 He does that the next job he gets will be at McDonalds. Even if that was already true he still wouldn't press charges. That one dude didn't press charges against Romanowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSfaninNE Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I feel the organization asked Geno not to press charges. As Todd Bowles said he doesn't want this one incident to define them. He wants to move passed it. If they press charges then the media will continue to use this as a distraction for the team. Better to ignore and move on and not address anymore questions relating to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Let him file charges. Let's have everything come out on this. I think a full airing of all the facts is a good idea. Unless Smith wants to cover it up for some unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Being a dumbass Canadian here in what cases does a person have to 'press charges'? This whole concept mystifies me. Up here, if you commit a potential offense, the cops investigate and you are charged, end of story. They could give two hoots if Geno wanted to go forth with this or not. If evidence is there they bring charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 IK committed an awful penalty on a 4th down late in the game last night that had Rex really upset. IK then proceeded to get manhandled by some 3rd string OL and couldn't get near the QB when i was watching. Wouldn't be surprised to see IK cut by the end of training camp.
