Jabrill Peppers Faces Domestic Violence Charges

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has announced that safety Jabrill Peppers will be dismissed from the team if domestic violence allegations against him are proven true. Peppers, who was placed on the NFL's commissioner's exempt list, faces charges including assault, strangulation, and cocaine possession after an alleged incident where he choked a woman and pushed her against a wall. Kraft emphasized the importance of verifying facts before making a final decision, drawing from his own experiences with false allegations. Head coach Jerod Mayo expressed support for the investigation, affirming the team's zero-tolerance policy on domestic violence. Peppers, who pleaded not guilty, will remain on paid leave until the situation is resolved. A hearing is scheduled for November 22, with the Patriots conducting their independent investigation alongside the NFL's review.
