Jonathan Martin has finally found out his fate for charges relating to a 2018 arrest when he tagged three people as well as hashtag his alma mater Harvard-Westlake High School in a picture that showed weapons laid out on a bed.
Martin faced five charges, with 4 of them making criminal threats and one count of possessing a loaded firearm.
On Friday, the former offensive lineman agreed to a plea deal and will enter a two-year pre-trial diversion program, according to TMZ Sports.
A spokesperson for the L.A. District Attorney’s Office tells us … “Today, a judge granted Jonathan Martin mental health diversion without objection for two years that includes outpatient, weekly individual psychotherapy sessions, weekly alcohol counseling and bimonthly consultation with a licensed psychiatrist.”
“If he complies with those terms and otherwise does not commit any other significant criminal offenses, the court will dismiss the charges.”
According to Nancy Dillon of the New York Daily News, the judge granted Martin a plea deal after former Miami Dolphins teammate and current Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Richie Incognito expressed his support.
“I did have the opportunity to consult with the named victims or their representatives. None of them are opposed to mental health diversion either, and all hope Mr. Martin succeeds,” Deputy District Attorney Samuel Hulefeld said in court on Wednesday, per Dillon.
