Ray Rice’s domestic violence charges to be dropped today

Ray Rice doesn’t have an NFL job.

But soon, he won’t have a criminal record, either.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the former Ravens running back has completed his pretrial intervention program, and his domestic violence charges could be dismissed by a judge in New Jersey today.

Rice has complied with all the requirements set forth from his felony aggravated assault case, stemming from the now-famous elevator fight with his now-wife Janay Rice. He avoided jail time by agreeing to the intervention as a first-time offender.

Of course, it might not help him get a job, as most teams are carrying 90 on the rosters, and Rice wasn’t playing the kind of football to merit a second chance when we last saw him.
