Over the past two weeks, we've seen pictures of one of the injured officers, we've seen McCoy, his attorneys and Central Detectives leave a Center City meeting.
"He'd love to talk to you," McCoy's attorney said as he left the meeting with detectives on Tuesday. "But, I'm not letting him talk to you."
With that said, we've heard very little from the NFL star himself.
Now, we are hearing from the attorney of one of the injured officers, Officer Darnell Jessie. The officer suffered facial bone fractures and other head injuries during the brawl.
"We've consistently said all along that we're very confident that the conclusion of this investigation, the D.A.'s office will charge whoever is responsible for this vicious beating with the appropriate crimes," said Jessie's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr.
