NEW YORK (VINnews) — The domestic violence charges against Amare Stoudemire have been dropped. Stoudemire was arrested recently for allegedly punching and slapping one of his teenage daughters in December. However the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office said that “the case was dropped due to the failure of the victim to cooperate in the prosecution of the criminal case.”

Amar’e’s attorney, Alexander Fox added that “After a full investigation, the case was dropped at failing to prove the false accusations. The court’s vindication of Mr. Stoudemire underscores who he is and always has been – a person of faith and integrity dedicated to his family and community.”
Stoudemire, now known after his conversion to Judaism as Yehoshafat Ben Avraham, has four children from his marriage to ex-wife Alexis Welch. At the time of his arrest, Stoudemire categorically denied any misdemeanors, stating that he would never lay a finger on another person.
In a post he published on Wednesday, Stoudemire wrote that “A little over a month ago, my family’s world was turned upside down as I faced allegations that we all knew to be untrue – which I instantly and publicly denied.
“Today, I’m grateful that after a full investigation, all charges were dismissed. Fortunately, my family and most importantly, my incredible children are all doing well. My faith in the goodness we all possess has never wavered and has never been greater. My love for my family is without limits.
“I am appreciative of all the respect and support received from family, friends and colleagues. Now that this chapter is closed, I look forward to all the great moments ahead with my family.”
Glad to hear this was dropped. Can’t wait to see you in RBS.
Sorry, isn’t this Loshon Hara? Charges are dropped but you want him guilty in the court of yiddish opinion?
Thank you Hashem!
How many lavim can one be oiver by posting a single story? I doubt the Chofetz chaim himself would have fathomed.
Loshon Hora for no toieles
What because he is a ger and black you think you can slander him with impunity!!! This story should never have been published either right after the incident charges or now. Slanderous.
due to his relationship with MDY and reb eli of the 8 minute daf!
I don’t know if he did slap the girl. But he is her father. In any well-adjusted society, a father is not only entitled, but absolutely obligated to discipline his daughters.
