"Prosecutors Drop Domestic Violence Charges Against Boston Bruins' Milan Lucic"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ESPN
Prosecutors dropped a domestic violence charge against Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic after his wife invoked marital privilege, making it impossible for them to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The decision came after prosecutors' motion to admit 911 call information into evidence was denied, effectively ending their court case. Lucic, a member of the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup championship team, had been arrested on suspicion of assault and battery on a family member, but his wife's decision not to testify led to the charge being dropped.
