Antonio Brown, the former NFL star, is returning to Miami to face an attempted murder charge stemming from a May shooting that left one man with serious injuries. The 32-year-old athlete, who had been living in Dubai for several months, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to his lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, Brown was forced to take drastic action after being attacked by Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a man he had fought with earlier. Eiglarsh claims that Brown was acting in self-defense and that Nantambu's violent behavior led him to grab a handgun from a security staffer and fire two shots.
The alleged victim has claimed that one of the bullets grazed his neck, leaving him with serious injuries. However, Eiglarsh disputes this account, saying that Nantambu was attacking Brown when he took action.
Brown had previously been accused of several other crimes, including battery, domestic violence charges, and failure to pay child support. His tumultuous career has also seen him released by the Buccaneers after a highly publicized incident during a game in 2021.
A second-degree attempted murder charge in Florida carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence and up to $10,000 fine if convicted. Brown's case is set to be heard as early as Wednesday morning for a bond hearing.
As one of the most popular players in the NFL, Brown's career was marked by his impressive stats - 928 receptions for over 12,291 yards, and seven Pro Bowl selections. However, it seems that this success will not shield him from the consequences of his actions on May 14th.

. I get that he says it was self-defense, and all, but the other guy's injuries do seem pretty severe... I'm not sure if AB is getting a fair shake here. His career was already kinda... complicated, but this could be a real game-changer 
. 15 years in the slammer would be a major bummer for his fans, you know? He did have some great years on the field, though... still sad to see it all fall apart like that 
.
and i saw they have this one place called 'pizza pilgrims' where you can get a pie topped with truffle oil and foie gras... sounds crazy, right? but then i started thinking about how weird it is that some ppl think it's okay to use pepper spray in public 
, like what even is that?! anyway, back to antonio brown... 15 years in the slammer seems harsh for a guy who's still got game 
. btw, has anyone tried that new pizza place downtown?
. Like, he's already got a record for all these other stuff, and now he's just getting another slap on the wrist? I mean, Florida's gonna give him a slap on the wrist? How about they focus on the guy who actually did the attacking instead of making Brown pay for defending himself? And what's with all this concern over his NFL career? Newsflash: it's not like anyone was ever gonna let him play again after all these incidents. He's still gonna get paid, and he's still gonna be a famous face... so why are we even giving him a second look?
can you believe Antonio Brown is back in Miami with a attempted murder charge? Like, what's going on with this guy? He was living in Dubai for months and now he's facing a second-degree attempted murder charge that could put him behind bars for up to 15 years 
. I feel bad for the dude who got shot by Brown - serious injuries, man. But at the same time, I'm like "what's with all the drama"?! 
. And now this? It's like he's playing a role in some crazy action movie or something
