Attorneys representing the former girlfriend of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs have filed a motion to permanently seal evidence and discovery materials in the criminal case involving Jacobs.
Brown County Circuit Judge Marc A. Hammer temporarily sealed the evidence in the case last Thursday after Jacobs pleaded no contest to battery and criminal damage to property, both misdemeanors. A permanent sealing of evidence could prevent the NFL from reviewing video from the May 23 incident at Jacobs' home that is described in the criminal complaint, which states that Jacobs threw the woman to the ground and damaged her phone.
Jacobs was placed on the commissioner exempt list on Aug. 30 and cannot play or practice. He could be subject to a suspension once the NFL concludes its investigation, and time spent on the commissioner exempt list would count towards a suspension.
Jacobs was convicted of the battery charge and fined $1,000 and agreed to a deferred judgement agreement on the charge of damage to property. He was ordered to have no contact with the victim, pay restitution, attend counseling and be under supervision for one year.
"The motion is consistent with our client's desire to protect her privacy, particularly in light of Mr. Jacobs taking responsibility for his actions in the criminal proceeding," Jalalpour and Tahmassebi said. "We have no further comment at this time."
