The Brantley situation, IMO, shouldn't disqualify him from being selected. He's continued to reject any settlement overtures by the accuser.

"I was approached by lawyers representing the alleged victim, both yesterday and today," Brantley's attorney, Huntley Johnson, said Tuesday evening. " They indicated to me they were meeting with the State Attorney's Office tomorrow and that they want to settle the case today. I called Mr. Brantley and communicated what they said to me. He told me that under no circumstances were we to offer them money or give them any money. He said no."

Second, the owner of the bar in question, Fat Daddy's, has also spoken out. Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole reports that the bar owner said the woman involved "repeatedly" hit Brantley in the chest and arms, while a security guard present also said she punched him in the mouth. The GPD incident report says the woman pushed Brantley, who then retaliated with a punch.

However, the security guard added that the woman was never knocked unconscious and Brantley did not punch her, only pushed her away.

Brantley has maintained from the start that he acted solely in a reactionary manner, pushing the woman away. The GPD report from the incident indicates that two witnesses identified Brantley as punching the woman.

Cole notes that the two witnesses in question are the woman's "roommate and a high school buddy of the roommate."
