The ex-girlfriend of San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has submitted a video to prosecutors to support her statement that she
lied when she told authorities Foster had hit her.
But Santa Clara County prosecutor Jim Dermertzis said Monday that the district attorney’s office will continue to prosecute a domestic violence case
against Foster even if his ex-girlfriend
Authentic Gustav Nyquist Jersey , Elissa Ennis, does not cooperate with the investigation.
”Sadly, too often victims of domestic violence, for a host of reasons
Ben Bishop Jersey , choose not to cooperate with the process that holds their abusers accountable,” Dermertzis said.
But ”If the evidence independent of the victim in a domestic violence case is compelling, it’s the prosecution’s duty to seek justice,” he added.
Foster was present at Monday’s hearing where the video was discussed but did not speak in court. He left without commenting to the media.
Prosecutors say Foster attacked his girlfriend in February at their Los Gatos home
Authentic Alexander Wennberg Jersey , leaving her bruised and with an injured eardrum. The 28-year-old woman told responding officers that Foster dragged her
by her hair, physically threw her out of the house, and punched her in the head
eight to 10 times.
Dermertzis refused to discuss the content of the video but Ennis has said through her attorney that she had footage that shows Foster did not cause the
injuries that led to the domestic violence charges against him.
Ennis’ attorney, Stephanie Rickard
Rickard Rakell Jersey , last week issued a statement on Ennis’ behalf saying her injuries were the result of a fight with another woman, and that
Foster tried to end his relationship with Ennis after he learned of the fight. A
video of that fight with another woman has been made available.
”She was extremely upset and told him if he broke up with her she would `trash his career,”’ Rickard said.
Prosecutors made a motion Monday to push back a scheduled plea hearing to May 8 to give them time to review the new evidence.

The Green Bay Packers might be busy on the third day of the NFL draft. General manager Brian Gutekunst begins the day with eight selections over the
final four rounds.
The Packers could use an edge rusher to help Clay Matthews and Nick Perry. Wide receiver and offensive line are also positions of need.
But they hope that they've shored up their pass coverage after adding Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson in the second round. They selected Vanderbilt's Oren
Burks in the third round. They see Burks as a versatile inside linebacker who
can cover.
The Packers chose Louisville cornerback Jaire Alexander in the first round.
Gutekunst says that adding competition will bring out the best in his players.
