Washington acquitted Gus after he was arrested on multiple domestic violence charges. Guinda's lawyer said in a statement that the allegations were false and that police had not asked Guice to release him, and that Washington had released him without investigation.
Attorney Peter Greenspan said Deros would defend the allegation in court and that the deal would be thoroughly investigated in accordance with an agreement reached between local lawyers and the Washington Football Team, which opposes every law and justification.
