Brandon Marshall gets to Walk in Atlanta

This guy has nine lives at least, and has not used them all up yet. Really, let's hope he is done needing to use them! In Atlanta today, a six-person jury acquitted him on charges of misdemeanor battery in Atlanta.

The charges originated from an incident on March 4, 2008, when his girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley, accused the receiver of hitting her in the mouth and grabbing her neck during a confrontation at Marshall’s downtown condo.

"It's been almost over a year and a half and I'm just happy that now, legally and emotionally we can move forward and hopefully get past this thing," Marshall told reporters outside the courtroom. "For me, I'm excited about the opportunity just to start over. It's a new life almost."

At least Brandon's difficulties are not nearly as bad as Michael Vick's burdons.
