The defense attorney for New England Patriots DT Albert Haynesworth, A. Scott Bolden, has filed a motion seeking to force the prosecution to turnover statements and/or evidence that will help the defense. They reportedly are seeking a copy of a written statement and affidavit from prosecution witness, W Hotel security guard Ramon Davis.
In an affidavit, Davis said that Haynesworth asked the waitress if he could place the credit card in her shirt or bra because her hands were full. She reportedly said yes initially actually appearing “playful” before telling him to “stop, for real.”
He added that he never saw Haynesworth fondle the woman’s breast.
Davis says in the affidavit that he was approached in April by the waitress and a man in a suit claiming to be her attorney, he then offered Davis $50,000 to help her with his testimony against Haynesworth.
The guard said he “was shocked and ignored the man’s offer”. He says he never asked him for a card or contact information and he has not seen him or heard from him since the initial offer.
Haynesworth’s misdemeanor sexual assault trial is scheduled to start in Washington D.C. next Tuesday.
