Joseph Randle has spent most of the past three years in jail since the Cowboys released him in 2015.
The former Dallas Cowboys running back is currently facing facing 11 charges, including rape, aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery that stems from a situation that took place back in September 2018.
His rape case has essentially been put on pause and TMZ Sports explains why:
“Ex-Dallas Cowboys RB Joseph Randle’s rape case has been put on pause … TMZ Sports has learned a Kansas court is ordering him to take a mental health evaluation to determine if he’s fit to be tried.
Randle is accused of raping a woman for hours last September in Sedgwick County, Kansas … and he’s been fighting 11 serious charges in court ever since.
But, the attorneys for Randle — who’s been in and out of jail and mental health facilities for the past few years — have argued the former NFL player is not in the right state of mind to defend himself.
Even the Sedgwick County District Attorney, Marc Bennett says the case is “off the docket” as stated earlier officials want to see if Randle is mentally fit to go to trial.”
At the last hearing back in February, Randle stated he did not rape her and “She never said No”.
During his 3 years in the league, Randle is most remembered for what he did off the field when he was caught shoplifting underwear and cologne out of a Dillard’s in Frisco, Texas back in 2014.
