A Santa Clara County judge ruled on Wednesday that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with the domestic violence charges levied by the Santa Clara County District Attorney against 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster, for an incident with his ex-girlfriend on February 11.
Thursday’s hearing was the first formal court appearance in which extensive testimony was gathered from both sides, most importantly from Foster’s ex-girlfriend.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from allegations that he attacked his then-girlfriend in their home in February.
Reuben Foster was charged on April 12 with three felony counts, including one for domestic violence, after a February incident when a woman claimed that Foster punched her in the head eight to 10 times, rupturing her ear drum in the process.
