Brandon Marshall Wife: Jumping to Conclusions After Incident at Club Isn’t Fair

There’s no question that trouble has seemed to follow Brandon Marshall over the years, and a few of those incidents have involved his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall. There’s a laundry list of incidents, allegations and accusations that follows Marshall wherever he goes.
But that doesn’t mean we should automatically assume the worst in this latest incident.
To paraphrase from the ESPN report, Marshall, the missus and friends were at a night club early Sunday morning after a charity event when a fight broke out. One story was that the fight was between Marshall and his friends, they were kicked out of the club and a woman, Christin Myles, was struck by Marshall during the melee.
The version presented by Marshall’s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, was that Marshall and his friends weren’t involved in the fight at all and Nogami-Marshall was struck in the face by a bottle while trying to leave the club and had to be hospitalized.
One way or another, the Marshalls deserve the facts to come out before we all go crazy and start jumping to conclusions about what happened here. There are a thousand things I absolutely love about the Internet, but the one thing I hate the most is how reactionary, judgmental and often downright mean the people inhabiting it can be.
I know it is easy, given Marshall’s track record, to assume the worst. I know it is easy, given the fact that it was reported in April of last year that Nogami-Marshall stabbed Marshall, to assume she had something to do with it.
But those are just assumptions. Before publicly crucifying the man and his wife, let’s let the incident play out.
Our legal system works by granting people innocence until guilt is proven. Our judgments are capable of doing the same.
Hit me up on Twitter—all of my tweets are Cinderella stories.
