Ray Rice assault video of his then-fiancé inside a casino in Atlantic City becomes the latest talk of the town. Before the alleged Ray Rice assault video was made public on Monday, both the Baltimore Ravens and the National Football League have released their statements saying that they have not yet seen the new surveillance video footage.
Allegedly, the Ray Rice assault video shows the running back hitting his then-fiancé. The video was relatively grainy, but it was still released early Monday morning by TMZ Sports. In the Ray Rice assault video, the couple, Ray Rice and Janay Palmer was seen arguing in a hallway at the Revel Casino back on February 15, before they both entered an elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Rice was allegedly seen striking Palmer twice in her face, eventually knocking her head into the elevator's wall. Palmer then drops to the floor as Rice drags her body outside the lift after it comes to a stop.
Both Rice and Palmer were both arrested for simple assault charges and were eventually released on a summons after the infamous incident. Rice was then accepted to a diversion program, which, if he completed, could have his assault charges dropped.
Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, has already suspended Rice for two games and even fined him three paychecks that totaled to more than $500,000. Later, Goodell decided to toughen the penalties given to Rice due to domestic violence.
The NFL stated in a statement that they released on Monday that the League has not yet seen the video, despite its constant request form the local police. The Ravens have also stated that they have yet to see the video footage for themselves.
As tweeted, "The @NFL says 'No on in our office had seen' the Ray Rice video until today. It's my understanding the #Ravens had not seen it either." It was then followed up by another tweet that said, "The @NFL requested from law enforcement all information about the incident, including the video. That video was not made available to them."
