Rodney Austin the former Lions offensive guard was found guilty today of assault on a female and child

The Detroit Lions released former offensive guard Rodney Austin after he was arrested for assault and larceny. There was rumors that the Lions would even be interested in bringing him back after the case was over. Well you can throw that out the window. Today Austin was found guilty according to Dave Birkett.

Austin has vehemently denied the charges, which were filled 11 days after the alleged incident. He has instructed his legal team to sue Gill-Sadler for malicious prosecution, defamation of character and slander, but that will be hard now that he is found guilty of the charges.
