While we’ve been waiting for weeks, literally, to see if any charges would come out of this brawl from Recess that LeSean McCoy was involved in, we’ve heard very little this past week. However, 6abc is now reporting that McCoy will be meeting with District Attorney, Seth Williams, today.
McCoy’s attorney says that meeting will take place sometime Tuesday afternoon.
Just last week there were reports that the DA’s office was not ready to issue an arrest warrant because of questions about the officers’ conduct.
District Attorney Seth Williams said he would not talk about any evidence in an ongoing investigation, and that his office would carefully examine everything.
“The last thing anyone wants is a rush to judgement so, again, it is my job to get it right and not get it fast. I know there are some people who are clambering that I have it resolved one minute from now, and that wouldn’t be the prudent thing,” Williams said.
That’s apparently not good enough for FOP president, John McNesby, who said McCoy sucker-punched one of the officers on Friday.
Extraordinary amount of time to be investigating an assault, an aggravated assault. The video is the video. The detectives, from all accounts, were done investigating this last week,” McNesby said.
Fortunato Perri Jr., who represents one of the injured officers, says he’s not concerned that there have been no charges yet.
“We’re not concerned at all. Obviously, over the last few days, different video have surfaced and other individuals are being interviewed. We’re confident that at the completion of the investigation, the district attorney will charge whoever is responsible for this beating,” Perri said.

UPDATE: I guess it’s not happening.
UPDATE II: I guess it is happening.
And the purpose of the meeting is what?
