MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A court hearing is scheduled in Texas Wednesday over whether to remove the judge in Adrian Peterson’s case.
Peterson is charged with abusing his 4-year-old son with a switch, or a branch pulled from a tree. Peterson says that he believes he was only disciplining his child. Peterson has long maintained that he did not intend to hurt his son but regrets the “unintentional injury.”
Retired Tarrant County Judge Jeff Walker will determine if Judge Kelly Case should be recused from hearing the case, after calling lawyers on both sides “media whores,” a statement he later recanted.
If Case stays, he has agreed to a tentative trial date of Monday, Dec. 1.
After this process, the next matter of business will be whether or not Peterson should be arrested again. Prosecutors said Peterson violated the conditions of his $15,000 bond when he told a court worker who was administering a drug test that he “smoked a little weed.”
Peterson remains on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list, meaning he’s barred from team activities but remains on paid leave from the Minnesota Vikings.
