Napa County District Attorney Gary Lieberstein said late Thursday he is not filing charges against the Oakland Raiders' coach for allegedly assaulting one of his assistants.
Randy Hanson says Raiders Head Coach Tom Cable attacked him back in August during a coach meeting at a Napa hotel.
Cable has been in legal limbo ever since.
Cable has not commented on the matter, even though reporters have dogged him with questions almost every day since Aug. 6. The one exception was this past Monday when no reporters brought it up at Cable's weekly post-game news conference. Apparently members of the media were still a little shell-shocked from the Raiders surprising victory against the Eagles.
"Lock-step corroboration of Hanson's story by three witnesses having no natural incentive to corroborate Hanson's version would have and should have triggered a much quicker decision on whether to charge Cable with assault," says ProFootballTalk writer Mike Florio, an attorney himself.
This does not mean Cable's troubles are over.
Hanson will likely file a civil lawsuit.
