Prosecutor: Case against Illinois' Jaylon Tate dropped
May 19, 2016 - 9:50 PM URBANA, Ill. (AP) Prosecutors have dropped a misdemeanor domestic battery charge against Illinois basketball player Jaylon Tate after concluding there was not enough evidence to convict him.Tate was arrested in March on suspicion of striking a woman. He pleaded not guilty.
Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said Thursday that witnesses who were at a party with Tate and the alleged victim were going to testify that they did not see the two interact and saw her leave without injuries.
Tate is a 21-year-old junior. He was suspended from the team after his arrest.
He is one of three Illinois players arrested this spring. Leron Black was placed on probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor aggravated assault. Kendrick Nunn on Wednesday was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery.
