FABIAN AVOIDS PROSECUTION

Raiders cornerback Fabian Washington was arrested in February, for domestic battery of his live-in girlfriend.
And it is now being reported that he won’t be prosecuted, if he completes a 26-week intervention program and otherwise stays out of trouble.
Because the prosecution is being deferred, Washington is far less likely to face any scrutiny under the Personal Conduct Policy. However, the new version of the policy, which was put in place a year ago, now permits the Commissioner to take action against players even without a final adjudication of any criminal charges.
