In the April 13, 2016 Judiciary Report
article "Adrien
Broner Arrested And Jailed For Probation Violation And
Trouble Strikes In His Personal Life With Claims He Cheated
On His Fiancée" the site implored troubled boxer
Adrien Broner to "throw yourself on the mercy of the court"
regarding an assault and robbery incident that took place
while he was gambling outside a bowling alley in
Madisonville, Ohio and inflicted grievous bodily injury on a
man at gunpoint. The next day, April 14, 2016, prosecutors
in his home state of Ohio formally indicted Broner and he
faces 3-10 years in jail, on charges of aggravated robbery
as well as felonious assault and robbery.
The charges Broner faces is serious.
Cincinnati.com is reporting that a special prosecutor,
Michael Tranter, has been appointed to the case in Hamilton
County. The judge presiding over the case is Robert Ruehlman.
Broner is currently in jail on a probation violation
stemming from an unrelated case for driving under the
influence, then engaging in reckless driving months later.
Broner was given 6-months probation on July 25, 2016. He was
arrested again on January 21, 2016 for the aforementioned
assault. The cases appear to have overlapped. However,
prosecutors are keeping the cases separate, which is
beneficial to Broner.

Report article "Boxer Adrien Broner Pleads Not Guilty To Assault And Robbery"
Broner needs to make peace with the victim and pay
compensation (the victim has filed a lawsuit against Broner
over the assault). The court may have more mercy on him if
he does so. Broner's pride got him into trouble. He is a
millionaire and is facing serious charges over losing
$10,000 in a gambling incident. His legal fees will total
far more than that in relation to this matter.
It's a shame it has come to this. Since 2014
the Judiciary Report has been running a series of articles
on Broner, which implored him to changes his ways, lest he

Special prosecutor to handle Adrien Broner case
7:37 p.m. EDT April 14, 2016 - A special
prosecutor has been appointed to handle the case against
local boxer Adrien Broner, who is accused of knocking a man
unconscious and then robbing him outside a Madisonville
bowling alley. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he
requested a special prosecutor because one of his friends,
described by officials as a businessman, has tried to be a
mentor to Broner.
“He’s just a very good friend of mine,” said
Deters, who declined to name the man. Deters said he wanted
to avoid any perception of impropriety. Hamilton County
Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman on Thursday appointed
Cincinnati-based attorney, Michael Tranter, to handle the
case. Also Thursday, Broner, 26, was formally indicted on
robbery and felonious assault charges.
Court documents say Broner on Jan. 21
pointed a handgun at a West Chester man during a betting
dispute, knocked him unconscious and robbed him of $10,000.
The incident has also led to a lawsuit against Broner, who
lives in Westwood, according to court records...
