Things were really looking bad for Deandre Baker last month after he was accused of armed robbery and aggravated assault at a social gathering in Miramar, Florida.
According to TMZ Sports, two witnesses at the social gathering have given sworn affidavits that have been submitted to prosecutors stating that Baker never branded a gun or robbed anyone.
“Deandre Baker was near me, and he never pulled out and/or pointed a firearm at anyone at the party.”
Both men claim they were 10 to 12 feet from Baker during the “commotion.”
Both men — who claim they only know Baker from playing the Madden NFL video game online — also say they never saw Baker “take anything from anyone at the party.”
Both men also say they provided the affidavit on their own accord — no one has threatened them or influenced them in any way.
We spoke with Baker’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, who tells TMZ Sports, “We believe that there is significant evidence to rebut any allegation made in the case.”
“In speaking to the witnesses, and reviewing the evidence we gathered, my opinion has not changed that he is innocent of the allegations against him.”
He was also accused of being the mastermind who also directed Seattle Seahawks corner Quinton Dunbar to start taking expensive watches and other valuables from people at the cookout.
Even worse than that was him alleging to have told a 3rd man to shoot someone who had just walked into the party.
Baker was charged with 4 counts of armed robbery and 4 counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, but has maintained his innocence throughout.
