Raiders Coach Cable not to be charged for alleged assault

Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said Thursday that no charge will be filed against the Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Cable. Thus the two-month saga of the Coach assaulting one of his assistants ended with no-charge conclusion.

“Our duty is to do the right thing for the right reasons,” Lieberstein said. “Under the facts and circumstances of this case, it would be a miscarriage of justice to pursue criminal charges and we will not ask our citizens to give up their valuable time for jury duty, nor will we allow our criminal justice system to be compromised.”

Cable has denied the charges from the beginning and believed the legal system will prove his innocence. After the district attorney’s announcement, he said he did not intend to speak to the media again until Friday. And Raiders spokesman Mike Taylor said the team is glad to see the matter being resolved and their current focus is on the game against the New York Jets.
