Charges against Panthers’ Hardy dismissed
Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy’s domestic-abuse case was abruptly dismissed Monday because his accuser could not be found to testify.
The prosecution said repeated attempts to reach Nicole Holder, Hardy’s ex-girlfriend, failed and the domestic violence charges were dismissed.
Hardy left the courthouse without comment.
Hardy was convicted last summer of assaulting and threatening to kill his former girlfriend. He appealed the ruling and was assigned for a jury trial that was to start Monday morning at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte, N.C.
Hardy requested the jury trial on July 15 after Mecklenburg District Court Judge Rebecca Thorne Tin found the 2013 Pro Bowl selection guilty. Under North Carolina law, his appeal set aside the guilty verdict.
Hardy played only one game last season but received $13.1 million from Carolina after being designated the franchise tag in February. He was placed on the inactive roster in Week 2 and then put on the commissioner’s exempt list before Week 3 until his case was resolved.
